Stephanie was born and raised in Grandview, Missouri, where she grew up at Second Missionary Baptist Church. Her Father was the church organist and her Mother was the youth choir director. She began singing in the church youth choir at age 4 and started directing the youth and adult choirs at 15. She was born into music. Her parents saw the gift of music in her at an early age and began the investment then. She was very active in her school's marching band and concert band where she played the saxophone, bass drum and xylophones, and was a vocalist in her high school's concert and chamber choirs. Stephanie formed her own choir, Uplifted Ministries, at age 16, where they sang at various events in the Kansas City metro area. She was also a member of several groups; Powerful Weapons of Praise, Spiritual Reaction and Sounds of Glory. Stephanie attended the University of Central Missouri where she earned a Bachelor's degree in Music, with an emphasis in music technology. While in college, she became the director of the ABC Gospel Choir and was a praise and worship leader at First United Methodist Church of Warrensburg, Missouri. After graduation, she relocated to Dallas, Texas where she works with children.  She wants to aid them to grow and develop in God's Kingdom.  She believes in educating them and helping to provide a foundation.  She uses her passion for music to both educate and build confidence!


Jessica describes Stephanie as, "The Quiet Storm. She has some good stuff to say and when she does, she says it well; in such a way you can't help but receive it."

La Shai describes Stephanie as, "truly patient!. She has really shown me how to wait. And in those moments when I begin to get anxious, I know I can talk to her and get great advice. Stephanie's unwaivering faith is contagious.
