after compiling a distinguished record of achievement at the
Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law at Arizona State University, where she
received her J.D. and a Certificate in Law, Science, and Technology with a

Leadership
in the legal profession is already one of Stephanie's hallmarks. In August 2012,
she was appointed by the president of the American Bar Association to serve on
the Presidential Task Force on Gender Equity. In addition, she has served as an
Arizona delegate to the Young Lawyers Division Assembly at the 2012 ABA Mid-Year

Lawyers Division Chair Christopher Rogers to serve on the YLD Member Services
Team for 2012-2013.
During her law school career, Stephanie was a
founding member of the American Bar Association (Arizona State University) and
the Consumer Advocacy and Protection Program’s Family Justice Bus. Stephanie
also clerked with three law firms and with the Arizona Supreme Court
Administrative Office of the Courts.
As a third-year law student, Stephanie was elected
as the national Vice Chair for the American Bar Association Law Student
Division. In 2011, she was recognized by the American Bar Association Law
Student Division, as one of only two Gold Key recipients, for her efforts
representing the interests of more than 45,000 law students nationwide.
For five years before entering law school,
Stephanie gained valuable legal experience as a complex commercial litigation
paralegal. In addition to her distinguished law school record, Stephanie has
earned Master’s degrees in Forensic Psychology and Business Administration.
