Hello! My name is Steph and I am the Program Director at OSPREY Camp! Originally from Texas, I spent the last six years living in Boston while attending college and working. I have had a wide range of unique experiences that all led me to joining the OSPREY Camp team. At my previous job, I worked at a psychiatric hospital helping teenagers cope with their emotions and building plans for future success. This experience taught me how to effectively navigate crises and build strong connections with teens. I’ve also worked as a camp counselor at Girl Scouts in high school, taught English and engineering to students in a rural town in India, and taught therapeutic principles to teens struggling with mental health. I am passionate about education in non-traditional settings because I believe it offers amazing opportunities for social and emotional growth. Over the years, I’ve also taken seasonal jobs that allowed me to connect with the outdoors, most recently in Alaska and Utah. These experiences gave me a deep appreciation for nature and for environmental stewardship. Outside of work, I enjoy ceramics, tai chi, hiking, and board game playing! I am so excited to meet you at OSPREY Camp!
