The daughter and granddaughter of teachers, Stephanie has a deep love for learning and shares BTR’s deep belief that every child is entitled to an excellent education.

I’ve always loved learning.

They’re amazing – so interested in learning.

So far, so good!
In My Previous Life:
I was an architect and a lawyer, and I’m still a musician (cello).
Favorite Thing in the World To Do:
Play music, eat good food, hang with friends. And I am the proud owner of 2 music-loving, geriatric Jack Russell Terriers.
