About me
Stephanie began her journey with Community Schools in Boston Public Schools, where she worked under the Director of Extended Opportunities and learned the importance of connecting and aligning multiple stakeholders to support students' academic and socio-emotional well-being. She then worked as a Community School Coordinator in South Los Angeles. She worked with teachers, families, students, social workers, counselors, and community partners to create systems to support the whole-child, whole-family, and whole-community. Before joining OCDE, she was a Regional Manager for UCLA's Early Academic Outreach Program where she oversaw the expansion of family engagement and college and career-readiness in the Los Angeles, Inglewood, and Pasadena area. She received her baccalaureate from UC Irvine in Sociology and Education, and her master's from Harvard University in Education, specializing in Prevention Science.
