Meet Stephanie Gardener

Stephanie Gardener is the Vice President of the Sigma Beta Chapter of Sigma Tau Delta at Chadron State College and Associate Student Representative of the High Plains Region. In addition to being a lover of the written word, Stephanie is also a wife and mother. She has a two-year-old son named Milo, and a plethora of fur-babies. She is obsessed with all things zombie, particularly the show The Walking Dead. She also adores the live action version of Beauty and the Beast and plans on watching it until her TV begs for mercy.

1. My favorite movie is Pride and Prejudice (2005).

2. I never leave the house without (not to be predictable but) a book, preferably more than one.
3. If I had to eat one food for the rest of my life, it would be macaroni and cheese.
4. Growing up, I was sure I would be a librarian.
5. I know every word to the song “The Parting Glass” by Ed Sheeran.

My go-to children’s book is The Two Princesses of Bamarre by Gail Carson Levine.

The destination at the top of my travel bucket list is London, England.

My favorite part of being an English Major: Reading as homework? Yes, please!

My favorite book/series is The Handmaid’s Tale by Margret Atwood, Harry Potter, and The Song of the Lioness series by Tamora Pierce. I can’t choose just one!

My favorite place to buy books is through various online bookstores.

In 10 years, I’m betting that the English major will be thriving. Nerds rule!

My first job was Balloon Twister.

The last book I bought was The Snow Queen by Joan Vinge, but I have not yet read it.

The celebrity I’d most like to spend a day with is Emma Watson.

If I could move anywhere in the world, I’d just keep moving and never settle down in one place. I’d love to be a world traveler.

My Hogwarts House is Ravenclaw.
