Originally from southern Indiana, Stephanie has called Noblesville home since 2011. She has been married for 22 years to her husband, Nate, a cardiologist with IU Health. They have three children, two of whom currently attend Noblesville Schools, and one recent NHS grad majoring in mechanical engineering at Purdue University. Stephanie has a Bachelor’s degree in biology from IU Bloomington and a Master’s in forensic science from the University of Alabama at Birmingham. She has previous work experience with the Indiana State Police as a Forensic DNA Analyst, and is currently a preschool teacher at a local Lutheran church.

In addition to her current role as the Vice President of the Noblesville School Board, Stephanie is also actively involved in various community organizations, including serving on the Noblesville Redevelopment Commission, and the Noblesville Schools Education Foundation board. She is also a mentor for students in Noblesville Schools, and a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) for Hamilton County, demonstrating her commitment to supporting and advocating for the youth in her community.

During her tenure on the Noblesville School Board, Stephanie and fellow board members have led many successful initiatives across the district that have resulted in visible and measurable improvements across academics, workforce development, arts and athletics.

“My passion lies in supporting the education and well-being of our youth, a commitment that is evident in my actions and interactions with others. As the first in my family to attend college, I have a deep appreciation for the transformative power of education in shaping a young person’s future. I love Noblesville Schools and I am committed to continuing the academic excellence to which our community has grown accustomed. I believe wholeheartedly that the Noblesville Schools experience is imperative to preparing our students for success whether that is in college, the work force, or the armed forces. Every student deserves the opportunity to thrive in the way that is best for them.”

Stephanie’s vision for Noblesville Schools is one of innovation and excellence while maintaining fiscal responsibility. “We are not immune from challenges. We must relentlessly innovate and adapt to new technologies without spending excessively in a way that is detrimental to the community at large. We must be vigilant in recruiting and retaining top-notch teachers and staff, as well as be prepared to regularly adjust to evolving state and federal legislation that impact school funding and regulations.”
