Stephanie found her love for the medical field and the security of those around her in the United States Coast Guard. She served in Washington DC, Charleston SC and Opa-Locka, FL as an Emergency Medical Technician, taking care of those she served with. Stephanie also served at a tactical law enforcement unit in Opa-Locka, FL, enforcing the laws on the water. As a member of bluewater’s training department, she is bringing her love of teaching and helping others to the various Security and Medical courses.

Born and raised in Chicago, Stephanie obtained her Bachelor of Science in Psychology at the University of Illinois at Chicago. She loves anywhere with a beach so decided not to go back to the cold but to stay in sunny Florida to pursue her Bachelor of Science in Nursing. When Stephanie has free time, if she’s not at the beach you’ll probably find her with family and friends (including the furry kind.)
