Stephanie has been working in senior living for almost four years. She has a B.A. in Management and Human Services and worked at M Health Fairview for over 26 years as a Surgical Technologist. Her passion for older adults with dementia occurred while walking the journey with her mom, who had Alzheimer’s Disease. Stephanie felt a career change was inevitable with her strong desire to do her part in advocating for those with dementia. She has continued her education in dementia whenever possible and has had the privilege of learning from the nationally acclaimed Teepa Snow.
