Stephanie is a Chicago local who completed her undergraduate studies at Cornell University and recently finished her second year of veterinary school at The University of Georgia- go Dawgs! At home, she is followed everywhere by her trusty Australian Shepherd, Tripp. Besides working with small animals, Stephanie has also worked with calves at Cornell’s barn, with sharks and other marine life at the New York Aquarium, and with marsupials in Australia.

During her free time, Stephanie volunteers for conservation societies and paints landscapes. Some fun facts are that she has an identical twin sister and was born on New Year's Eve.
