"I can't say enough about how well Stephanie creates space for others to thrive. She creates inviting spaces where she dances through the nuanced territory of taking command of the room while also ensuring participants have the freedom to be themselves and comfortable.

She has created a vibrant AAPI affinity group community that both unifies Asian cultures and highlights the rich diversity across the diaspora.

Her recognition of how the "model minority myth" actually perpetuates racism, positions the Asian community to reach across cultural barriers to create connection and build allyship."

~Tony Bradburn, Director of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion at Illinois High School District 214

"I recommend Stephanie to any organization looking to enhance its diversity and inclusion efforts because of her ability to create a safe and engaging learning environment where participants can deeply reflect on and challenge their biases. Her presentation was very well designed.

Stephanie's use of personal stories, an interactive format, and practical frameworks makes complex concepts accessible and actionable, empowering individuals to embrace their authentic voices and contribute to a more inclusive & supportive workplace."

~Delphine Broutin, Communications, CSR, DEI Manager at AXA Partners

"We invited Stephanie this past August to facilitate a foundational experience for our Alumni Scholars. She created activities and leadership sessions that truly addressed our students’ needs.

More importantly, she connected with our students by sharing her own stories and displaying her own vulnerabilities, which allowed our students to open up more and feel safe. We also dealt with a sudden change, and Stephanie pivoted and adjusted quickly, making sure that our retreat still happened and we still reached our key objectives."

~Fritzie de Mata, PhD, Senior Director, Alumni Scholars Program Cal Alumni Association

"I have learned so much from Stephanie's people-centered approach to learning. She brings a level of care and intentionality to her work that can be felt in all aspects of the work itself, from process to product.

She is communicative, thoughtful, and thorough, and I was particularly impacted by how she was able to make me feel seen and heard throughout all our interactions. Stephanie has a deep understanding of how to affirm and create space for people of different identities and experiences.

She brought my team’s vision to life in a short period of time and through our conversations, enriched our ideas with her own knowledge and experience."
