What brings Stephanie to the field?: As a recent graduate of UCSB, Stephanie's experiences as a student inspired her to pursue a career where she can help foster a safer, healthier, and non-discriminatory college campus. She is motivated by optimism (inspired by the work CARE has done at UCSB) in providing proactive education and intervention to create a supportive environment where everyone feels respected.
