About Stephanie: I grew up in Waxahachie, Texas, and then left Texas to go to college at the University of Missouri-Columbia.  I ended up back in the Dallas area with two degrees, and not really using either one of them much to the dismay of my parents.  I was on my way to work as manager of a retail store one day when I heard a radio ad for TWU’s master’s degree programs.  I had always wanted to pursue a degree in Library Science, and this seemed like the perfect opportunity – I set off for my career as a librarian.
