About Stephanie

I have purposefully built my career around what is best for students. For me, it’s personal. I strive to create a positive and trusting relationship with every student I serve. I have been fortunate enough to work with students from Kindergarten through Community College. My strength is connecting with kids; especially grades 9-12, specializing in College, Career and Comprehensive Guidance Counseling. My commitment to being a life long learner translates into a creative problem solving approach with students, which leads to their discovery and ownership of the unique qualities and talents they have to offer their future university and community.

Testimonial

Stephanie played a significant role in me attending Stanford University and having the best college experience possible.

I will be forever grateful for her motivating me to believe in myself as much as she did.
