STEFIE is currently a rising junior at Lehigh University, located in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, where she is currently studying Accounting, Finance, and Spanish. Her biggest vices are good food, film, and shoes. Mostly she muses herself with her penchant for fashion and shopping; her fascination with bookshops, magazine stands, and art museums; and her passion for art and design. Although she's pretty good with numbers, there's an artsy side to her as well--with scrapbooking, photography, and web design.

Quite sadly, she's a hopeless romantic and picks up good reads incidentally after judging books by their covers :ox! She enjoys reading novels whilst sitting in random city cafés. Amongst other things, she likes to edify things of all sorts (a tweaker like none other) and making aesthetically pleasing spreadsheets with Excel. She's always constantly worrying about everything, although she's trying to ease off some. She likes to be the one to make plans and desires to have a strong grasp on certainty and predictability. She's in love with all things MANHATTAN and can wander through her streets indefinitely without feeling an ounce tedious.

Nevertheless, she's a wee bit quirky--she's a collector of postcards, stamps, business cards, and ticket stubs. She will only write with black ballpoint pens and carries around a Moleskine notebook filled with graph paper. Amongst her many loves, she especially admires her lovely and resilient mother, Audrey Hepburn, and Martha Stewart (minus her insider trading activities).
