Stephanie was born in Mississippi and moved to Tifton, GA, when she was 11. Her father encouraged Stephanie and her sisters to get involved in the local 4-H program showing cattle and her parents showed them how to keep records of their costs for feed and supplies, as well as prize money, in a ledger book throughout the year. She started helping keep records of her family cattle herd in accounting software and enjoyed looking at the family financial reports. Her interest and enjoyment of the financial side of her family's business led her father to suggest she study accounting in college.

Stephanie enjoys gardening and spending time outdoors, watching Braves baseball with her husband, Dan, and watching their son, Holden, and daughter, Kaelyn, grow. She lives in Kennesaw with her family.
