Stephanie’s recent work looks at culture, politics and policy impacts in Appalachia, especially issues of substance use, housing and homelessness.  A Pulitzer Prize finalist and Mid-Atlantic Emmy winner for reporting on child sexual abuse in Amish and Mennonite communities, she was also part of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette team that won the 2019 breaking news Pulitzer for coverage of the Tree of Life synagogue shooting. In 2017, the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting supported her travel to document the environmental and economic fallout from Alcoa’s departure from Suriname after a century as the country's largest employer.

Her work has been recognized by numerous awards, publications, and exhibits, and she has worked in newsrooms across Pittsburgh for over 10 years. She is currently on staff at the nonprofit newsroom PublicSource. Her freelance clients include Cosmopolitan, ESPN, New York Times, Vox, Wall Street Journal, Mother Jones, WIRED, Der Spiegel, Bloomberg, Reuters, and The Guardian. A believer in photography’s ability to build community, she teaches, speaks, and mentors in the field, is a founding member and education liaison of the Pittsburgh chapter of The Video Consortium, and is on a constant quest to pay it forward.
