Hello, I’m Stephanie.
I’m a community innovation and program design consultant. I work with nonprofits, governments, and community organizations to identify gaps, design practical solutions, and improve the programs and systems people rely on.
My practice sits between strategy, creativity, community development, and implementation. I’m at my best when someone brings me a problem no one has quite figured out yet, an unmet need, an underperforming program, a system that isn’t working, and we build a practical path forward together.
My specialized expertise includes trauma-informed program design, ethical lived-experience integration, survivor-led systems, and gender-based violence, exploitation, and human trafficking response. That specialization runs deep, and it shapes how I approach every engagement, but it’s no longer the boundary around what I do. It’s part of my depth.
Outside my consulting practice, I’m also the founder of ElevateHER , a separate nonprofit organization with its own board and programming, and I’m developing MindBank, a social-impact initiative. My consulting practice may collaborate with these on pilots or community initiatives, but the three are distinct.
