Ever since age 4, singing became second nature to Steph. Born in New Jersey but living in Brazil at the time, she'd turn up the volume to her favorite group, Chiquititas, while singing along proudly and skipping around her parents' São Paulo apartment. She would also go to work with her mom and belt out My Heart Will Go On from Titanic to all of her favorite customers. Little did they know that this bilingual little girl would one day want to do this as more than just a hobby.

​

     At age 11, Steph was convinced by a friend to audition for the school play, Annie. She landed the role of Molly, and the minute she made her debut on opening night, she fell in love with being on stage and realized this was her true calling. Soon after, she began taking acting, voice, and dance classes, performing in school and community theatre productions.

​

     Even though she loved musical theatre, she couldn’t let go of her pop-singing roots. At 15, she learned to play guitar and began recording cover songs for YouTube, as well as writing her own music. By 2012, she released five original tracks, making her debut on iTunes and Spotify.

​

     Steph went on to graduate from NYU Tisch School of the Arts with a BFA in Drama. She studied at the New Studio on Broadway Musical Theatre department for three years before completing a year of film and television training at Stonestreet Studios.

​

     Since then, she’s worked with regional children’s theatre companies, filmed multiple short films and online projects, and recorded a variety of VoiceOver work (in both English and& Portuguese). Her favorites include dubbing for the cartoon Caillou, national commercials and radio ads for Chewy.com, and even voicing an ‘80s-inspired workout instructor for Waze maps.

​

     Today, Steph lives back in NJ with her husband, 2 year old son, and dog, still balancing her love for performing while raising a family as full of joy and creativity as the one that inspired her all those years ago.
