Stephanie is an alumna of the Columbia School of Social Work and in her role in the department, she supports students and agency partners within the Health, Mental Health, and Varying Abilities portfolio. Stephanie's career has been shaped by pivotal experiences at Mount Sinai Hospital, where she developed expertise at the intersection of healthcare, geriatric psychiatry, and caregiving. Her extensive knowledge of healthcare systems and her work with families in the Mount Sinai network led her to transition into community-based roles as a Geriatric Care Manager in the Tri-State area. Recognizing the challenges faced by the aging population and family caregivers, Stephanie became involved with startups focused on caregiving in the workplace and education. In these environments, she managed both business development and clinical roles, where she created workflows to support staff at the caregiving startup Wellthy.
