Stephanie Kitson is an educator, vocalist, and professional musician in Portland, OR. Originally from Phoenix, AZ, she grew up performing in musicals and singing in choirs at school and selective choirs around the state. She majored in Music Education with a Vocal Emphasis at Northern Arizona University, where she went through an intense curriculum of music theory and history.
