Information:

Stephanie Weigel is the regional land use planner in the Morongo Basin of southern California. Research as a Ph.D. geographer – using geographic information systems and remote sensing to document and analyze changes in landscapes and ecosystems – inspired her return to M.S. studies in urban and regional planning to gain a better understanding of the policy settings that so profoundly impact communities and their landscapes. Stephanie has worked in academia, state and local government, and with community-based non-profits. Born in South Dakota and raised in the Midwest, she holds a B.S. in bacteriology and chemistry from Iowa State University. Her perspectives on place and community are informed in part by the diversity of places she has lived and worked, including North Carolina, Puerto Rico, Louisiana, Colorado and California. Stephanie is an avid dog walker, reader and fiber artist who enjoys quilting and weaving.
