Hello, I’m Stefanie!

For over 25 years I’ve been committed to nurturing the growth of children, parents, and professionals. I started my career in preschool classrooms. Little did I know how those hands-on teaching experiences would lay the foundation for my subsequent work: directing a highly respected early childhood program, developing award-winning books and products for children, training educators on a national level, and more. 

These days I provide services as an independent consultant and coach, where I bring a depth of wisdom and skills gained from a wide variety of experiences. 

I’m always interested in learning more and connecting with like-minded professionals. Feel free to reach out to me!
