Sterner made her debut on the Ladies European Tour as an amateur at the 1988
Danish Ladies Open where she made the cut. After graduating from
San Jose State University, she turned professional in 1994 and joined the
Ladies European Tour. A win proved elusive and her best result came as runner-up at the 1996
Marks & Spencer European Open at
Hanbury Manor. She was tied for ninth at the 1997
Evian Masters and other top ten finishes include the 1994
VAR Open de France Dames (T7), 1996
Ford-Stimorol Danish Open (T10), 1999
Air France Madame Biarritz Open (T4) and the 2002
Ladies Irish Open (T8). Sterner earned non-exempt status for the
1999 LPGA Tour, after losing a playoff for the last exempt spot to
Åsa Gottmo in a four-way playoff and played seven LPGA Tour events. Her career highlight came perhaps on the
Ladies Asian Golf Tour where she won the
Toyota Philippine Ladies Open and the
Indonesia JAL Ladies Open in February 1997. She retired from tour in 2004 to become a golf coach. ==Professional wins (6)==
