Stephanie Zimmermann biography ::
Stephanie Zimmermann, 41, writes the four-times-weekly consumer column, "The Fixer," and covers consumer issues for the Sun-Times. Having previously worked as a journalist in such far-flung locales as Fort Lauderdale, Fla., and Nairobi, Kenya, Stephanie is equally adept at investigating shady companies and recommending a good place for roasted goat. Stephanie spent a bucolic childhood in Wisconsin, but for most of the last 23 years has called Chicago home. She holds bachelor's and master's degrees in journalism from Northwestern University and has won a number of local, state and national reporting awards.
