Stoffman is most famous in Canada for her role on Degrassi Junior High as Stephanie Kaye Kobalewsky.
She was nominated for a Gemini Award for her portrayal of Stephanie on Degrassi, which she left after only two seasons (1986–1988). She subsequently appeared in the CTV television series Learning the Ropes in 1988–1989. Her movie credits include The Club (1994), Anchor Zone (1994), and Bram Stoker's Shadowbuilder (1998).
