Chief Administrative Officer (CAO)
Stefanie was born and raised in Germany. After living and working in several countries, she settled in Truckee in 2007. She spent 15 years managing a local hotel and restaurant, where she developed a strong foundation in all aspects of business administration, including human resources, payroll, financial management, operations, and day-to-day business functions. This experience provided her with a broad understanding of the many components required to successfully operate and manage a business.
Stefanie joined the MWA, Inc. team in 2022, bringing her diverse background and operational expertise to support the firm’s administrative, HR, and organizational needs.
Outside of work, Stefanie enjoys spending time outdoors, hiking, biking, paddleboarding, snowboarding, backpacking and exploring the Tahoe area with her beloved Mountain Chihuahua, Tuco, by her side.

All Staff
Acumen Engineering has teamed with Kurt Reinkens, Kristi Thompson and MWA on no less than 13 projects in the greater Truckee area over the past 11 years. The scope of the projects has ranged from single-and multi-family residential buildings to renovation of historic structures in downtown Truckee to commercial and mixed-use planned developments.
In all cases, I did not hesitate to work with the firm because:
• Kurt and Kristi manage projects effectively
• Deadlines and expectations are known ahead of time, no last minute crisis
• All of the team members have a say in the design effort
• The architects know the applicable building and development codes so plan check
corrections are simple and owners understand what they’re getting ahead of time
Without reservation I have, and continue to, recommend MWA Architects to owners and
developers in need of a talented, resourceful and professional architectural firm in the
greater Truckee and North Lake Tahoe area.
