Staff Feature: Stephanie Satchwell
That sweet voice you hear on the phone or when you walk into the Rec is Stephanie!

She works at the front desk of the Rec Center and has for 6 months now.

"I love working at SRC, and it's the perfect job for a retiree that wants to keep in touch with the community. The staff is super fun and the people coming in to workout have been awesome to get to know."

Before working at the Rec, Stephanie owned her own Graphic Design business!

When she isn't at work, she loves reading a good book with her two dogs by her side. She practices yoga, swims, gardens and even goes rock hunting on hikes with her husband.

We love having Stephanie around and hope you do too, stop and chat awhile if she is working at the front!
