Stephanie Aase was born in Peoria, Illinois and shortly moved to Loves Park where she attended elementary school and was able to be close to her grandparents. Her grandfather, a champion stock car driver at Rockford Speedway, is responsible for Stephanie’s love of racing. At the age of 9 her family moved to the Champaign-Urbana area where she found her “athletic side” by joining the middle school basketball team at Urbana Middle School. In addition to her athleticism, she was also the middle school student council president. Moving on to Urbana High School, Stephanie continued as an active member of the student council until graduating in 2001, with the senior year title of “Miss Congeniality”.
After graduation, she attended Parkland College, pursuing her degree in special education with an emphasis on sign language. As both of Stephanie’s parents were hearing impaired and her mother was a teacher at the Center for Sight and Hearing in Rockford, she hoped to continue being active in the deaf community. Today, she is currently available for work as a sign language interpreter.
Stephanie began her sales career at the Fraternal Order of Police, and believing that she had found her niche, in 2008 she joined the Royal Publishing family. In both March of 2016 and September of 2017 she earned the Salesperson of the Month award. In April of 2018, she also earned a prestigious quarterly award for the first 3 months.
Today, she is the proud mother of two boys. 14 year old Quentin takes after his mother as an athlete, wrestling and playing baseball. 7 year old Jayce has yet to find his sport! In June of 2018, Stephanie accepted a promotion and moved to the corporate office in Peoria where she now resides.
