Stern went to George School for high school. She later graduated from Tulane University in 1998 with a B.F.A. in ceramics. While living in New Orleans, she collaborated with fellow artists Brice White and Icky Apparatus to create Nowe Miasto, a do-it-yourself warehouse space that has since hosted hundreds of bands and workshops. While living in New Orleans, she wrote several zines, including Mine: An Anthology of Women's Choices and Mine: An Anthology of Reproductive Choices, and published several issues of a personal zine called Crude Noise.
In 2003 Stern moved to Providence, Rhode Island. She spent several years working as the Program Director for AS220. She is a linoleum block printer and a member of the Justseeds Artist Cooperative. In 2006 she co-curated (with Pippi Zornoza) the "Pocket Change" printmaking show at AS220 featuring 15 contemporary printmakers.
