Stacey grew up in the rural community of Lake Havasu City and was involved in both her community and politics at an early age, as she was one of the founding members of the Young Democrats of America Club at her high school and also volunteered for her dad’s (LD 16 State House Democratic Member Keith Seaman) first legislative campaign when she was sixteen. She briefly attended college at Northern Arizona University before moving back home to complete an Associate’s Degree from Mohave Community College. She moved to Tucson to attend the University of Arizona and graduated with a degree in Music Education.

Stacey has always been a strong community advocate and has been prominent in the Casa Grande Community. She served on the Casa Grande Arts and Humanities Commission for nine years, the Casa Grande Parks and Recreation Advisory Board for two years, and was a three-year member of the Creative Communities grant delegation through the Arizona Commission on the Arts. Stacey has been a Casa Grande “Voices” of the Future Honoree, named an Exemplary Woman Leader for Pinal County, and a National Women in Business Week Honoree. The small non-profit arts organization she co-founded, BlackBox Foundation, is still in operation and was named a Casa Grande Chamber of Commerce Small Business of the Year under her operation. 

Stacey has received two Master’s Degrees: one in music conducting from Southern Oregon University, and one in theatre education from University of Northern Colorado. After working as a professor of music at Central Arizona College (CAC), she now is the Director of the Pence Center for the Arts, also at CAC. She is currently pursuing a Doctorate of Musical Arts in Music Education from Boston University.”
