After living and teaching ESL in Santiago, Chile from 2018-2021, and following a Colombia-hosted virtual teacher training position with NC State’s Global Training Initiative, Stephanie was determined to create a solid home base in North Carolina. In December of 2021, Stephanie joined the IEP as an instructor for the custom-designed IEP-Cooper program. She became an instructor with the IEP academic study program in the Spring of 2022 and has continued as Lead Instructor of the IEP-Cooper program.

She enjoys running and loved biking in the Atacama Desert and on the frozen Arctic Ocean.
