Steph comes from a long line of central Florida natives stretching back to Spanish colonial days. Her earliest memories of Florida are of walking cow paths on her grandparents’ rural property, swimming in creeks and catching minnows with her sisters. Her passion for native ecosystems and wildlife has continued throughout her educational and professional journey. Today she hopes to engage others with firsthand experiences of the watershed to create meaningful connections between citizens and their environment. She is currently the outreach and engagement specialist for the St. Johns Riverkeeper.
