Stephanie has always been passionate about helping others. Even as a child she rallied her classmates and started an "Organization of Good Deeds", which encouraged kids to pick up trash on the playground. As she grew older, she found her passion for service manifest in politics as an intern on Capitol Hill. One of her first days there she attended a hearing on microfinance in South Sudan. It was her first exposure to anything about international development and she was hooked. As her scope of helping others expanded, her view of community and how to serve others became much broader too. This passion took her to South Africa where she worked in a local all-girls school to today working at Devex. As an Associate Director of Global Membership, Stephanie serves our members by understanding their needs and determining how Devex can best support their growth. When she’s not at Devex you can find her volunteering for local D.C. nonprofits or at Georgetown University, where she is currently pursuing her MBA with a focus on how business can be leveraged to better serve communities — both locally and around the world.
