Steffanie Holtrop is the President/Publisher of the ‘hood Magazine. She started ‘hood over 14 years ago before she had her own little ones at home. Steff would have her niece and nephew visit for the summer and was always looking for things to take them to do. The start of ‘hood was created with the help of local moms and what they would like to see from a parenting resource for the area. As ‘hood has grown over the years, so has Steff’s family. She has been married to her high school sweetheart for 14 years (even though they have been together for 24 years), and they have Jaxson and Khloe. They have grown up being a part of the ‘hood family and could talk just as much about ‘hood as any other team member! One of Steff’s favorite things about bringing ‘hood to the Sioux Falls Area is being there for parents! We are all on this parenting journey together, and there are many stages and ages to it!

Sarah Parker is the editor of ‘hood Magazine. She works with our print issues and creates online content for ‘hood. Sarah has three young children that keep her busy! She loves all things outdoors! In the summer, you can find her family camping, hiking, and taking in as many picnics as they can. Sarah grew up in Beresford and, after a decade away from the area, came back with her husband to raise their children in the Midwest. She lived in six different states during her decade away! Her favorite things to do in the Sioux Falls Area are enjoying the local parks and coffee shops.

Laura Kattenberg handles the distribution of the ‘hood Magazine. She meets with delivery personnel to get the magazines and then delivers the magazines to different businesses and schools around the Sioux Empire. She also works with the local schools that send home magazines in backpacks! Laura and her husband Derek live on an acreage between Sioux Falls and Brandon, with three of their four children (ages 9-20) and their black lab, Harley. She enjoys reading, being outdoors, and spending time with family and friends. Her favorite Sioux Falls Activity is the Fall Park Farmers Market.

Shelbi Kielhold is the client coordinator for the ‘hood Magazine. She enjoys talking with clients about what they have to offer and how the ‘hood can help promote their business and events to the community. Shelbi has an almost one-year-old little girl and a Pomeranian with whom she enjoys spending her days. She loves going on walks, watching sports, golfing, and reading with her daughter. Shelbi grew up in Iowa and spent the last 10 years of her life in Lincoln, Nebraska, where she went to college and taught 5th grade. She recently moved to Sioux Falls, where she and her husband are looking forward to raising their family. Her favorite thing about Sioux Falls is trying all of the new restaurants and shops it has to offer!
