Stephanie was most recently the Chief of Staff at Public Rights Project (PRP), a national non-profit that helps local governments fight for civil rights through legal advocacy, capacity building, and litigation. At PRP, Stephanie worked closely with the leadership team to deliver on its theory of change, led multiple multi-year strategic planning processes, and helped manage the organization as it tripled in size during her tenure. Previously, Stephanie was a management consultant where her projects focused on large-scale transformations, change management and communications, and process improvement. She earned her bachelor’s degree from New York University’s Stern School of Business (Class of 2019).
Stephanie grew up in New Jersey but spent the last decade living in New York, where she has volunteered with various grassroots organizations to advocate for environmental and climate justice at the city and state level. She is excited to join Sanford to build on these experiences and help stop the climate crisis through policy change.
In her free time, Stephanie loves working on her Cantonese, film photography, drawing/painting, exploring third spaces, and being in nature.
