Stephanie Taylor

Stephanie, who affectionately goes by Stevie, is a walking paradox. A vagabond soul who craves adventure (she's crossed off 35 states on her travel list) but has a longing for a sense of home more than anything else. A lover of style, but adverse to shopping and price tags. A vegetarian with an appreciation for the smell of bacon. She has lived a number of lives from event assistant to creative writing teacher to the former Online Managing Editor at Darling.
