Formerly based in New York and splitting her year equally between the two, Stephanie has recurred and guest starred in a number of TV shows and appeared in a growing collection of films including GOLDEN BOY (CBS), I JUST WANT MY PANTS BACK (MTV) directed and executive produced by Doug Liman, GEORGETOWN (ABC), LAW AND ORDER: SVU (NBC), BASTARDS OF YOUNG (a NY feature currently doing the festival circuit;  available on Amazon and iTunes), COLBY (a feature in pre-production, in which Stephanie plays the title role, a serial-drifter who finds herself fantastically stuck), METH ( screened at Cannes, among other festivals - Best Actress awarded to Stephanie for the Derby Film Fest). She was on THE PRICE IS RIGHT, too. She didn't win anything. 

Stephanie also did a bit of off and far-off Broadway in NY and her hometown of Boston having been heavily trained in theater and screen with Walnut Hill School for the Arts,  CCM (The College-Conservatory of Music), NYU Tisch, Trinity College Dublin, Anthony Vincent Bova (Morris technique), The Aquila-Morong Studio in LA, and Rebecca Kitt (coach /teacher extraordinaire in LA). She also works commercially, in voiceover and in print. 

Stephanie is a Capricorn with Leo Rising. She's repped bicoastally by APA (theatrical), Station 3 Management and Mavrick Commercial. Many thanks to Marisa for inviting Stephanie into her story and to both Marisa and Chris for having having her as a part of  this short film with a big heart. (It's odd to do thank you's in the third person - Thank you Marissa, Chris, other lovely cast and crew).
