Born and raised in Asheville, North Carolina, Stephanie grew up hearing the stories of the Appalachian Mountains. Two of her favorites were the stories of the Brown Mountain lights and of the Pink Lady who is said to haunt the Grove Park Inn.

Moving to Tennessee was exciting for Stephanie, and the move culminated in her becoming more interested in the paranormal. She has had many unexplained experiences, from being touched by unseen hands to seeing apparitions.

When the East Tennessee Paranormal Project was formed, Stephanie was very excited because she has her brothers and her best friends along with her to explore and search for answers to questions that not only they have, but to help others who have questions, too.
