Stephanie Turner
DEVELOPMENT AND COMMUNICATIONS MANAGER
Stephanie attended public schools in Augusta and Evans, Ga., including C.T. Walker Traditional Magnet School. A first-generation college graduate, she earned her bachelor’s degree in journalism from Valdosta State University in 2012.
Shortly after graduating, Stephanie landed a job at the Aiken Standard newspaper in Aiken, SC. She served as the paper’s features reporter (and several other roles) during her five-year tenure there.
In 2018, she moved to Durham to become the first Marketing and Media Relations Coordinator for Durham Technical Community College. She later held positions at the Duke University School of Nursing and the edtech company Noodle.
A proud Durham transplant, she is grateful to now focus her efforts on furthering DPSF’s mission and bolstering her local school system and community.
In her off time, Stephanie enjoys traveling, spending time with friends and family, including her very energetic black cat Edwyn, and engaging in the local performing arts.
