Stephanie is the Controller at Wookey Films. She is, by far, the most important person on the planet. Aside from managing the day to day financials on scripted and unscripted productions from development to production to final delivery, she oversees a huge amount of executive work from fulfilling reporting requirements to various funders to managing project financing and tax credit applications.

Steph also plays a key navigational role maintaining a clear and accurate picture of the company's position on a regular basis, allowing Producers to make educated decisions about development strategy and investments. Her razor-sharp mind and her penchant for efficiency make her a true rock star at Wookey Films.

Stephanie attended Dalhousie University in Halifax and received a Bachelor of Commerce degree in 2016. After graduation, she returned to Winnipeg where she worked first as an Accountant and then as an Assistant Controller at an advertising firm. In April of 2020, she received her CPA designation.

Steph has traveled to 18 countries and despite what you might think when you think 'accountant', she enjoys a drop-in hip-hop class every once in a while, which was a deal-sealer at the time of her hiring.
