## About Stephanie
_Stephanie Nims is a senior content producer at weather.com._

## Hometown
San Diego, California

## Educational Background
Bachelor of Arts in Film and Video Production from Brooks Institute of Photography

## What I Do
Content Producer, Camera Operator Extraordinaire

## How I Got To The Weather Company
I came by way of newsrooms and camera operation for satellite trucks covering breaking news, weather, sports – you name it. Relocating to Atlanta from the L.A. area was an unexpected turn in my Southern California life, but love that I landed here at The Weather Company.

## Favorite Weather Areas
I’m a desert animal

## Favorite Core Weather Memory
Living most of my life in the land of "72 degrees and sunny," the first time I saw falling snow was pretty exciting (I think I was 27 years old). But after moving to the Atlanta area, I really do have a new appreciation for experiencing the changing seasons, even if everyone says it isn’t real winter here.

## Favorite Weather Condition
Summer is the best, fight me.

## Favorite Book
Currently devouring all the murder mystery books I can get my hands on.

## Favorite Movie
All the horror
