Stephanie has lived in the San Francisco Bay Area for much of her teaching career, providing her with numerous opportunities to work within a rich tapestry of cultures and diverse school communities. She completed her Certificate in Educational Therapy at Holy Names University in Oakland, along with certificates in Assistive Technology, College Counseling and Advising, and English as a Second Language. Stephanie has held various roles in both public and private schools and agencies, including Learning and/or Assistive Technology Specialist, Educational Therapist, and Education Liaison.

In all of these environments, Stephanie has collaborated with teachers to support students' access to the curriculum, interpreted psychoeducational and neuropsychological evaluations, and helped students and families navigate state and federal education and disability laws. Her approach emphasizes holistic, team-based strategies to support students, and her mission as a Learning Specialist is to evaluate students' academic strengths and weaknesses, nurture their self-advocacy skills, and empower them to approach school assignments with confidence and creativity.

A devoted year-round swimmer, Stephanie is a member of the Manatees Aquatic US Masters Team. She also enjoys hiking and practicing yoga. Although she sang classical art song and opera for over a decade, she is, at heart, very eclectic about art, theater, music, and literature. She loves reading both fiction and non-fiction, discovering new music, and chatting with students about stage productions, singing in foreign languages, costuming, and fashion trends.
