When Stephanie was four years old, her babysitter placed
paintings on the piano and asked her to play what she saw. This
empowered her to call herself a composer as early as she could read and
write, and she has been passionately and prolifically creating things with music and words ever since.

Stephanie studied drama at Tisch/NYU where she also studied composition with Dr. Alan Cohen. She participated in Adam Guettel's group lab class through Musical Theatre Works, and she was selected as the youngest member of the New Dramatists' Guild's Composer/Librettist Studio in 2006.

Her music theater works include: HOTEL SARAJEVO (hotINK Festival 2004), TULLY (IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER) (New York Musical Theater Festival 2007, for which she was awarded for Excellence in Music), THANKSGIVING! A! PAGEANT! (AdNauseum Lyceum) and THE APOSTLE PROJECT (Theater Mitu/NYTW).

Songs of Stephanie's have been performed at Café Vivaldi and Don't Tell Mama, and she contributed material for DREAMAKERS (with Brian D'Arcy James) at the Children's Aid Society. She recently spent a year in Prague collaborating with the Czech gypsy/folk band Tripura.

Some exciting projects which are currently in development: a music theater piece inspired by James
Agee's "Let Us Now Praise Famous Men" (with playwright Molly Rice and director Rachel Chavkin),
"A Musical Fantasia On Piratical Themes" (in collaboration with Joshua William Gelb), a song cycle
about the end of the world, and an opera for the extraordinary songstress Heather Christian.
