Early life
Stevens was born in Claremont, California, but grew up in Acton, Massachusetts,[4] where she attended Acton-Boxborough Regional High School.[5] She studied government and women and gender studies at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire and was a member of the college's tennis team.[6]
After graduating in 2005[4] she moved to New York City where she worked for Lehman Brothers for two years, then for mezzanine fund Gleacher Mezzanine before quitting in July 2009 to take up cycling full-time.[7]
