She is thrilled to return to Waldorf School on the Roaring where her Waldorf education journey began as a grades teacher prior to starting a family.

Their daughter Emma is a Waldorf graduate and recent Grinnell College alum. Stacie enjoys spending time with family and friends, cooking, crafting, being in nature and exploring the world.
