Stephanie Studebaker graduated from high school with the idea that she would go to college and take as many differing classes as possible, trying many paths to discover which one best suited. The same night she graduated was the same night her parents drove across the southwest all night long with her and everything she owned in a van to her first job: a job for the utility branch of the summer program, on campus of the college she would attend that fall: Fort Lewis College in Durango, Colorado.
Her entire four years in undergraduate school was spent working two and three jobs at a time while taking a full load of classes, for the various seasonal jobs in the area like the ski area and the local Durango and Silverton Railroad. Just after her graduation, she received the opportunity to work in several capacities at Mesa Verde National Park.
She then came to Colorado Springs where she nearly joined the Navy to fly helicopters, but instead decided to get a job as a teaching assistant at a private Montessori School...and the rest is history. She has taught Spanish in a public charter school of 600 students from K to 8th grade, PreK to 3rd in prestigious local private schools, both Montessori and 4-Mat Philosophy driven, and currently teaches for Pikes Peak Prep of the GEO Foundation.
