Early years and career

Steinhauer was born on February 16, 1969 [1] [2] in southwestern Michigan. She is the daughter of Joel Steinhauer, who worked as a union representative for the Michigan Education Association, and Lynn Steinhauer, who is a licensed social worker. [5]

Steinhauer attended the School of Visual Arts (SVA) in New York, where she studied journalism, eventually graduating with a BFA in Communication Arts in 1990. [6] In 1989, she began working as a copy girl for The New York Times, while she was still a student at SVA.
