Autor

Stephanie Wilson believes storytelling can save lives. Her MBA and over a decade of artistic training both help her live out that passion. Born in New Jersey, but raised in Florida, she lives to laugh and is a lover of animals. As a kid, Stephanie dreamed of being the first female president, but always added the disclaimer that if she couldn't make that happen, she just wanted her life to be a good story. In her eyes, she definitely got her wish. Stephanie resides in New York City's Upper West Side with her scruffy Puerto Rican street dog, Luna.
