Colleagues describe her as "It is quite a rare occurrence when you get to work with a manager who is both a standout leader and a mentor, but I have had the luckiest opportunity to do so with Stephanie. I reported to Stephanie from 2018 to 2021 back when I was UNLV's Division of Philanthropy and Alumni Engagement's graphic designer. During my time there, Stephanie not only pushed me to go above and beyond my work, but also with myself; I learned how to be a fully-fledged creative under her tutelage and continue to use the skills I learned from her. I was always in awe with how Stephanie was able to juggle different projects all at the same time and was always impressed with how communications would come so easy to her. Most impressively however, is that even in times of tension, I had never seen Stephanie stress. I would always remember her philosophy of constantly moving upward and onward, something that's also helped me in my career path. Any organization would be lucky to have Stephanie on their team; if you have the opportunity to work with Stephanie, I'd wholeheartedly take it!" and "Stephanie is an inspiring and compassionate leader.
