Stefany was born and raised in North Vancouver BC. She is the only daughter of Squamish Nation hereditary Chief Joe Mathias and Janice Antoine, the principal of the Coldwater School in Merritt, BC.
Her love of the arts was ignited in her as a young child because her mom brought her to the theatre for children and her dad to see movies of all kinds. Not only did they both encourage her acting they also supported her love of singing, dance, and writing.
Stefany graduated from the University of British Columbia theatre program and continued in Theater until she was noticed by Chris Haddock who cast her in his acclaimed TV series "DaVinci's Inquest," where she played a recurring role. She then went on to appear in "Da Vinci City Hall", "The Collector" and several independent feature-length and short films.
