Stephanie is an advocate for human rights and social justice. Her international work with diverse communities, along with her Certificate in International Development, have shaped her understanding of systemic inequities and their effects on mental health and well-being. She is dedicated to creating inclusive and affirming spaces for individuals of all gender and sexual identities, expressions, and relationship structures. In 2017, she was honoured as one of the Alberta Council for Global Cooperation’s Top 30 Under 30 for her contributions to international and community development.

Stephanie’s teaching experience and knowledge of child development make her well-suited to support parents. As an Ontario Certified Teacher and Registered Early Childhood Educator, she provides practical, evidence-based strategies through an attachment and trauma-informed lens, helping parents cultivate nurturing relationships with their children.

As a survivor of abuse and someone managing chronic illness, Stephanie understands the power of nurturing relationships to create transformative change. Her experiences have shaped her empathy and insight, allowing her to connect authentically with individuals who may feel isolated, misunderstood, or overwhelmed. Her approach blends humour, curiosity, and a gentle demeanour to collaboratively create a safe space where hope and connection can flourish.

In her downtime, Stephanie enjoys spending time in nature and horseback riding. As a fibre artist, she can often be found singing away while working on her creative projects.
