Stephanie Koerella

Originally from New Jersey, Stephanie began exploring the world of food in her Sicilian family kitchen. Standing by the warm oven, she learned about love through homemade gnocchis, lasagna and biscotti. She never once stole a meatball after being lured into the kitchen from the smell of Sunday’s dinner; not once! ;) Upon graduating from Rutgers with a Marine Science degree, Stephanie pursued her love of the ocean by obtaining her 200-ton captain’s license and working on sailboats in South Africa, the Mediterranean, Caribbean and Indian Ocean. After sailing over 25,000 nautical miles, she missed the comforts of land, so she returned to her marine science roots to study sharks, fishes and marine invertebrates in Australia. Fate brought her to Ashland where she fell in love with her husband. As a self-professed Price Comparison Queen and Zero Waste Hero, Stephanie aims to help people spend less on their monthly food bill. Her superpower is teaching others how to eat healthy organic food AND save money!
