Her childhood was filled with storm chasing, stargazing, roadside cleanups, and one unforgettable farm visit that left her proudly dubbed “the dirtiest child to ever visit.” With a deep love for the natural world, Stefanie’s future was clear.She earned her B.S. in Environmental Biology from Delaware Valley University, but like many new grads, took a practical job in microbiology to make ends meet. A serendipitous dog-walking encounter with the president of the local Watershed Coalition opened a new path—one that aligned perfectly with her passion for conservation. Today, she works as a microbiologist by day and a devoted watershed conservationist by night, holding roles with both the Bertsch-Hokendauqua-Catasauqua Watershed Association and her county’s open space advisory board.Outside of science and service, Stefanie is a global traveler, rescue pet lover, and future mom.
