Stephanie has been a member of TMS since 1997 and volunteer since 2006 completing the state filings and mailing out informational and new member packets. She feels that the time has come for her to take on a bigger role in the actual workings of the Society, as a Board Member. “TMS has given me the support I needed through the years, via the newsletter, website, forums; and now it is time to ‘pay forward’ and do what I can to enable the continuing growth & success of TMS.”
Stephanie started her work career as a CMA/office manager in the medical field, progressed to the health insurance field as a roving customer service representative, and continued on to a non-profit hospital, in the Risk Management Office handling the state filing, casualty and malpractice ins. She had been licensed in life, health, accident, casualty, & Series 7 in PA.
Along with her husband George, retired & sold everything and left PA in 2007 traveling & living in their RV. They now own a home and have a permanent address in Truth or Consequences, NM. George, a retired machinist, now a newbie bridge player also volunteers for the senior center delivering meals. Hobbies enjoyed by Stephanie include traveling by RV, photography, maintaining their desert landscape, taking care of their masto dog (Lady, a Shar Pei), and reading fiction when those mast cells degranulate.
