Meet the Team

Stephanie Lentz | Founder & CEO

Stephanie grew up in the Seattle area and enjoys exploring the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest. She has always chosen to follow her passion, and for many years that meant working with kids, teaching baking/cooking classes, catering for friends' parties, becoming a certified dance fitness instructor, and dabbling in performing arts. After becoming a mom, Stephanie took a particular interest in how her family's daily habits were impacting the planet, and after a bit of research, she realized it was time to make some drastic lifestyle changes. Stephanie created Scoop Marketplace out of a need for a grocery store that aligned with her family values. She is thankful to have an opportunity to bring her passion and skill together by teaching people how to live more sustainably and take intentional action to build the world they want to live in.

Hannah Fankhauser | Executive Assistant

Hannah was born and raised in Washington state and is passionate about everything the Pacific Northwest has to offer. She recently graduated Northwest University with a degree in Interpersonal Communications and a minor in Marketing. What excites Hannah most about her position at Scoop Marketplace is her ability to utilize every aspect of both her degrees while pursuing her life passion of normalizing sustainable living. In her free time, Hannah enjoys spending quality time with her husband (which usually involves thrifting and finishing puzzles) or binge watching Friends for the 500th time.

Claire | Product Educator

Claire is a recent college graduate with a degree in fashion business and a minor in environmental sustainability, who is invested in learning how a societal shift in mindset and values can create a greener and more inclusive future. By working at Scoop Marketplace, Claire gets to partake in helping customers on their low-waste lifestyle journey. When not at work, Claire enjoys watching Studio Ghibli films, plant-based baking, reading, and learning more about the intersection between fashion and holistic sustainability. In the fall, Claire will be attending graduate school to pursue her curiosities and dreams further.

Melissa | Product Educator

Melissa is a Midwest transplant with roots firmly in the Detroit area. Having worked in hospitality and hotels for the last decade, what ultimately inspires her is people. Since 2016 Melissa has lived in Hawaii, California, and has fallen in love with Washington. There’s a common Hawaiian phrase “Aloha ‘aina” which means love of the land but even more- it is a core value of the people. The Bay Area exposed Melissa to her first zero-waste/refill shop, offering her not only a product-educator role but allowing her to transition out of hospitality and into something that felt more ethically aligned. Now finally here in Kirkland, Melissa has been able to lean into the zero-waste space and continue learning with the Scoop Team! Some fun facts: breakfast is her love language, always looking for podcast suggestions, and her best friend is an Australian Cattle Dog named Timber.

Rosemary | Product Educator

Rosemary was raised on a farm in rural NY and is passionate about bringing the low waste country lifestyle into the city. She grew up alongside five different service dogs in training, and trained two more herself with Guiding Eyes for the Blind when she was a teenager. She enjoys color and creativity through using makeup as an art form, and can often be found with brushes in her hands and rainbows on her face. Rosemary believes cats are the superior life form on Planet Earth, and though she had to leave her farm cat Mugs in NY with her family, she pesters her parents for pictures of him almost every day. She doubts that Mugs misses her nearly as much as she misses him, but she still counts the days until she can visit and hug him again.
