She has been the host of various podcasts and is an occasional beauty and design writer. She was a longtime editor at goop, where she was instrumental in building new editorial franchises that focused on people pushing forward humanity. Before goop, Stacey served as an evening TV news anchor and reporter in the Four State region. Breaking various stories about humanity, she dived deep into the topics of the veteran healthcare crisis, the disappearance of small-town America, the plight of local factory workers, the rising cost of food, and more. Her Sunday newscast received some of the highest ratings in the region.
Prior to the news, she worked with the late and legendary James Caan as his associate producer and right hand. For years they traveled the globe for his film and producing projects. To this day, Jimmy is her greatest mentor. She began her career in New York City working for Magnolia Pictures.
Stacey has a B.A. in media studies from Emerson College and an M.A. in journalism from the University of Colorado at Boulder. One of her favorite pre-career moments was interning at WBZ-4 Boston, where she got to work alongside renowned journalist Sharyn Alfonsi. She is an advocate for veteran support and held a longtime board member position for Compass Quest Veterans Group.
Originally from the South Shore of Massachusetts, she lives on the West Coast with her husband, Christian, and their dog, Andi MacHowl, and spends her days fascinated by the seemingly smallest things. Being a highly sensitive person is a truth in which she’s found immense clarity in herself and the world.
