Natural History, July, 2005

The work that Stephanie Fotiadis does is seen by millions of kids, parents, and teachers every year, but Stephanie herself remains behind the scenes. As the Web Designer for the National Center for Science Literacy, Education and Technology for the past five and a half years, she has guided the look of innovative educational Web pages. "At the Museum, I really feel like I am creating something that benefits people, which is rewarding."

Stephanie has primary responsibility for the creative direction of the National Center's Web sites, including Ology, Resources for Learning, and the Young Naturalist Awards. She is also a key member of the production team for each of these projects. "The work we do here is so diverse and interesting. We interact with so many people at the Museum and deal with such an array of subject matter--every day I learn something new."

Outside the Museum, Stephanie is an avid tennis fan and a New York City restaurant connoisseur. She has used her skills to produce a tennis Web site as well as to teach an html seminar in Harlem.
