Stephanie’s room at Pathfinder is chock-full of color, activity, and books, with a place for everyone and huge windows looking to the forest outside. Stephanie joined Pathfinder in 2007 and immediately set about fostering relationships between her children’s experience of the twenty-two-acre campus and their active experiences in the classroom. Prior to joining Pathfinder, Stephanie fit a wide-range of experience in a short time, teaching reading and writing at the elementary and junior high level for Traverse City Public Schools, with a focus upon students with special needs. She lives in Traverse City with her husband, Eric, and her three daughters: Mady and Avery, Pathfinder alumnae, and Lucille, current Pathfinder Student.
