Ms. Stephanie is a proud alumnus of the College’s choral programs: the Garfield Singers, Magic Company, and the Macombers. After living in Los Angeles and gaining experience in behind-the-scenes aspects of Television and Film, she was thrilled to return to Macomb to support the programs that helped shape her love of performing, when she joined the Education team in early 2019. With more than 22 years of experience as a Casting, Musical Theater, and Artistic Director, as well as a Choreographer for local groups and schools, she continues to share her creativity and passion for the arts throughout the community.
