Before falling in love with Scrum, Stephanie was a technical writer for 20 years and has written several books, including Videoblogging for Dummies. As an entrepreneur, she wrote and published a 4-issue comic book for knitters and has written or contributed to several tabletop games. Stephanie is an accomplished public speaker and trainer, having presented at professional conferences and user groups for the Society for Technical Communication, WebWorks, and the Madrona Fiber Arts Retreat. She has both online and in-classroom experience as a teacher and trainer, having taught technical writing courses online and Freshman composition in the classroom at San Jose State University. She's also led teams, both professionally (as a Scrum Master and entrepreneur) and on a volunteer basis in her tenure as an officer of a local Toastmasters group, the Society for Technical Communication, and the National Writers Union, where she served as the national chair for the book authors' division. Stephanie is now turning her unique set of leadership, training, and Agile skills to a career in helping other teams learn to love Scrum and improve their teams and processes.
