GET TO KNOW STEPHANIE IN A FEW WORDS:

Why did you decide to pursue the consultant path?

I choose to be a full-time consultant because I found, throughout my career, I was placed in roles to help with process improvements, and, once processes were streamlined, I tended to miss the “clean-up” process. When consulting came my way, I thought, what better way to continue doing what I love by being exposed to multiple companies in various industries with a focus on project-based work that is in line with my strengths and adding value in what I enjoy most. 

What expectations should clients have from you as a consultant?

Clients should expect to receive a commitment to excellence, dedication, team player, motivated self-starter, and passionate learner who adapts well to changing environments. My results-driven character is attributed to my attention to detail, outstanding multi-tasking, organization, and data mining skills. Clients will always get the best from me.  

Share one fun fact about yourself that would surprise people.  

I am an adventure seeker who has:

  • Traveled to Egypt, toured King Tut’s tomb in the Valley of the Kings, cruised the Nile River, visited the Great Pyramid of Giza and ancient temples.
  • Completed a full marathon (26.2 miles) in Santa Barbara, CA.
  • Completed a 50-mile bike race from Rosarito Beach to Ensenada, Mexico.
  • Bungee jumped at Los Angeles’ Bridge to Nowhere constructed in 1936 over the San Gabriel River.
  • Hiked up 2,830 stairs at Vancouver’s Grouse Grind.
  • Walked atop the city walls of Dubrovnik, Croatia.
  • Ate chicken feet at a night market in Vietnam.

This is a list of just a few of my most memorable adventures!
