Stephanie Lapeyre-Montrose

Hello, my name is Stephanie Sara Lapeyre-Montrose. I am a third generation Ventura County resident. My mother's family were of French and Belgium descent and had a ranch on Tierra Rejada in Moorpark. My father's family were of Russian descent and after first settling on the East Coast came to California when my father was a small child.

My childhood was filled with enriching activities. I studied dance, such as belly dancing, ballet and tap. I was an avid swimmer for fifteen years, and had instruction in the many different styles, including synchronized swimming. I was heavily involved in the local Tapo 4-H Club for seven years, and joined the FFA my senior year in High School.

As an adult I continued my volunteer activities as a docent at Strathearn Historical Park and am involved in the Ventura County Coast Geologic Society, where I am currently the secretary. I earned my Bachelor of Science degree in Geologic Sciences and my Bachelor of Arts degree in Anthropology from the University of California, Santa Barbara.

I've really enjoyed meeting all the people I have met and all the friendships I have made through all of my experiences. My one true ambition is to leave the world a better place than what I found it in.
