So growing up, she loved the B-movie/horror genre. Steph had always dreamed of becoming an actress and doing horror films. But being in Ohio there never seemed to be a chance of that happening. So she decided to become a Veterinarian. At the age of fourteen, in 1986, she moved to California! This is where she started to make her dream of becoming an actress a reality and started to do something about it.
