Stephanie’s journey began at the University of Rhode Island, where she earned a degree inmarine and maritime affairs.

Her time as an undergraduate not only equipped her with knowledge but also ignited her passion for scuba diving, leading her to become an active and engaged member of the scuba community. Her dedication, along with that of her fellow students, played a pivotal role in convincing URI to establish a formal dive program, creating opportunities for experiential learning among students.

Together with her team, she has been instrumental in propelling ITI to remarkable success and expansion on both national and global scales.
