Success & Nothing Less

Shattering Challenges
Stephanie’s success has come with its share of challenges. One of the biggest hurdles she faced was overcoming her anxiety and self-doubt. Despite her tendency towards shyness, Stephanie knew that stepping into a sales role was crucial for her personal and professional growth. Raised by immigrant parents who instilled in her that anything is possible if you put the work in, she embraced the challenge head-on. She has grown leaps and bounds from the nervous girl that felt so small to a confident and accomplished professional.

As she’s climbed the ranks at ALKU, Stephanie has made it a priority to support and empower the women around her. Leading by example, she’s demonstrated grace and motivation in her day to day as well as the importance of making others feel heard and valued. Stephanie actively cheers on the women around her publicly and privately. She celebrates their achievements and echoes their successes to leadership.
