She is eternally grateful to her older sister, Drei, along with the Deaf and interpreting communities in Greeley and Denver, Colorado for helping shape her into who she is today. Currently, Stacey resides in Overland Park, KS with her incredible wife of 10 1/2 years, soul-searching son, 3 beautiful daughters, 2 loving dogs and 1 “stray” cat. During the school year she works with a great team at Johnson County Community College to help prepare students for entry into the stimulating and growing field of interpreting.
