Media Manager
STEPHANIE SINKHORN has been exploring interactive media since her first access to the Web at age 12. Since then, she has taught herself Photoshop, built her own websites, moderated a blogging community, earned her degree from Sonoma State University, programmed for a world-renowned printing company, and moved to the Midwest and back. Amid those adventures, she also managed to sneak in positions as Art Editor for her university’s literary magazine, college radio DJ, and volunteer for United Against Sexual Assault (UASA). When she’s not writing young adult fiction (teenagers are brilliant), she spends her time blogging, tweeting, and otherwise basking in the amazing culture of social interaction that is the Internet. She fully believes in and is constantly amazed by the passion and love that is shared between these virtual “strangers,” and hopes to further break down the stigma that real, lasting relationships cannot be formed across the social media medium. She likes cats, open minds, and dry wit. Twitter | LinkedIN | Blog
