Stephanie has been working with animals for the past 13 years, most recently spending 7 years as the General Manager of a popular doggy daycare and boarding facility. While she loved her work there, she wanted to shift her focus more toward animal welfare and making a difference in the lives of animals in need, which is what drew her to Ruff Start Rescue.

Stephanie is married and has a wonderful 10-year-old daughter, whose adoption was finalized in September. They recently moved to Zimmerman after living in Princeton for about five years.

In her free time, Stephanie enjoys reading, spending time with her family, and hanging out with her three miniature dachshunds (Jasper, Alice, and Bella). She is looking forward to this new chapter with Ruff Start and is excited to be part of a team that makes such a meaningful difference for animals and the people who love them!
