She rejoined the Commission in September 2018 as associate commissioner for strategy and external affairs, leading a highly capable team to develop, communicate and execute the Commission’s strategic plan and supporting initiatives.

Prior to her time at the Indiana Commission for Higher Education, Stephanie served under Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard, former Indiana Superintendent of Public Instruction Dr. Tony Bennett and several state lawmakers in the Indiana House of Representatives.

Stephanie earned a bachelor’s degree in elementary education from Indiana University — Purdue University Fort Wayne (Purdue University Fort Wayne) and will soon complete her masters in business administration from the IU Kelley School of Business. She is a former second grade teacher.
