As an Animal Science major she became very involved in the College of Agriculture activities and clubs and it’s through these opportunities that she learned about 4-H by volunteering at the state livestock show. The Block & Bridle club is where she met her now husband who is a sugarcane farmer in St. James Parish. Mrs. Stephanie lives in St. James Parish along with her husband and 3 children. She has two kids who are old enough to participate in 4-H!
