She served a mission in Moscow Russia and received a degree from BYU in Communications and Public Relations. She spent many years working as a corporate sales and personal development trainer while she waited for the blessing of motherhood. She refers to this phase of her life as B.C (before children). She also earned a degree from the School of Hard Knocks during a 17-year journey with infertility. She was ultimately blessed to give birth to 3 living children, while losing 3 others along the way. Her children are by far her greatest accomplishment.

Stephanie’s life-long interest is studying and teaching the gospel. She was honored to be on faculty at BYU Education Week for 5 years speaking on infertility and varied gospel topics. Learning challenges within her family led her to get specialty education and licensing to work with Dyslexia and ADHD in private practice. She also teaches personal development workshops online with her partner and author of The Sultan’s Seven Secrets, Jeff Buehner. 

Preparedness has been a passion of Stephanie’s for the last 15 years. Her family lives on a hobby farm where they have learned various skills and principles associated with self-reliance. She takes seriously the scriptural promise that “... if ye are prepared, ye shall not fear.”
