Hi, I’m Steph! I am so excited to start working with Brave Care! I grew up in a small town in New York called Corning and then attended Houghton College, majoring in biology and minoring in chemistry and psychology. I also played basketball at Houghton. After college, I went to Penn State for my Master’s in Physician Assistant Studies. I absolutely love celebrating all of the incredible people in my life, throwing celebrations is probably my favorite thing to do. When I’m not organizing some sort of festivities, I also love to hike and run! I’m training for my 6th half marathon and debating whether I want to run a full one (not sure yet if I can run 13.1 miles and say “let’s do that again!”). I also love to cook and bake in my free time (really my favorite thing to do is eat- tacos and coffee are the way to my heart.

I was raised in a small town- Mabank, TX. I attended college at Texas A&M, PA school at UTMB in Galveston, and I have lived in Austin for the past 7 years. During that time, I have been working as a PA in a busy Emergency Department. When I am off I like to travel, eat good food, and play outside. I enjoy pretty much all outdoor pursuits- water sports, snow sports, climbing, cycling, paddling, hiking- and I am a master of none. I also have a husband, dog, and 1 year old baby that are all pretty cute.

I am originally from a tiny mountain town in Northern California but have been all over the place in the last decade- was stationed in Georgia while in the Army, lived among the redwoods and coast even further up in California (Humboldt), went to PA school in Seattle (UW) and have finally have put my roots down here in Vancouver, WA. I live with my husband, our silly toddler and our even sillier set of animals- Chocolate lab, dachshund and a cat named Bruno- (but we don't talk about him!). I love spending time outdoors (rain or shine!), but am also a sucker for curling up with a good book or getting lost in a puzzle or some arts and crafts!
