Hello and thank you for visiting.

My name is Stephanie and I live in the suburbs of the magnificent city of Chicago. I work at College of DuPage where I coordinate the Living Leadership Program in the Office of Student Life, serve as advisor for the Student Leadership Council, and teach Leadership Development as an Adjunct Humanities faculty member. I chair the COD Votes committee dedicated to advancing civic learning and democratic engagement at the college and I serve on committees for Equity and Access, First Year Experience, New Student Orientation, Black History Month, Hispanic Heritage Month, and additional adhoc committees. I designed the Living Leadership Program based on my Masters thesis work and developed the New Student Orientation Leader Program among other specialized tracks within Living Leadership.

I hold an AA from College of DuPage, a BA in Anthropology and Sociology with Honours from the University of Durham in Durham, England, and a MA in Leadership Studies from North Central College in Naperville, Illinois. I completed a PhD in Values-Driven Leadership at Benedictine University in Lisle, Illinois in May 2018.

I love adventure and while living in England I traveled extensively in the UK and Western Europe. I am also a great supporter of field studies and study abroad programs. I have enjoyed field studies and study abroad experiences to Costa Rica, Peru, Japan, China, Italy, Spain, Belgium, Germany, and the Netherlands.

In addition to exploring new peoples and cultures, I enjoy volunteering in the community.
