Stephanie was a ballerina—she'd hoped to keep dancing for years. But a serious injury changed everything, and she had to start her career from scratch.
Sometimes our career plans are taken out of our hands. That’s what happened to Stephanie Wolf. She was a ballet dancer, performing with companies across the US, including Wonderbound (formerly Ballet Nouveau Colorado), the Metropolitan Opera, James Sewell Ballet and Minnesota Ballet. Stephanie thought she’d be dancing until she was 40. But a serious leg injury changed her plans completely. She started from scratch as a public radio journalist, figuring out how to be a beginner all over again. Now she is an arts reporter for 89.3 WFPL News in Louisville.
