Stephanie Webb
Stephanie Webb is the Reporter and Co-Host on "Take 5 Grand Rapids". Stephanie was supposed to go into Criminal Psychology ? as was her goal when she graduated from Hope College. She did an internship with the Michigan Department of Corrections and thought that was her calling. However, psychology was a part of her daily life when co-hosting the morning radio show at WGRD. She was the News Director and Morning Show co-host there for four years, where she was also the "celebrity smut guru."
Stephanie got her start in television at the FOX television affiliate here in Grand Rapids ? as a sales account representative. On a whim, she started doing voicework which lead to an on-air "Entertainment Host" position at the station. She also has experience as a media-buyer and in public relations planning.
When not at work, Stephanie enjoys catching up with "US Weekly", "In Touch", "Star", "InStyle" and other celebrity magazines; she also enjoys cooking, landscaping, yoga, and watching Mafia movies. Stephanie and her husband, Jack, have two young daughters.
