“As a fellow public relations professional and a Toledo Museum of Art member, I always admired Stephanie's fantastic work for the Museum in the community. From creative marketing to an engaging social media voice to extraordinary events, I found myself spending more time at the Museum than ever before.

I was thrilled when I could join her team as the person charged with earning media coverage for the Museum.

Working with her, it was clear she had a vision for communicating the Museum's message and wanted me to use my skills to share that message with the media. Along with her ideas, she was also open to feedback and suggestions on how digital, marketing and media relations could work together to promote the Museum and its programs.

Her leadership and decision-making skills, sometimes in high-pressure situations, were on target and ensured the Museum was well represented in the community and her staff empowered to perform their best work.

And while all these reasons make her a strong professional, the sincerity, passion and empathy she showed toward her mission and her colleagues made it an absolute pleasure to be a member of her team.”

“I have had the pleasure of working with Stephanie as a member of the TMA COVID response team. I have also worked with Stephanie as we launched COVE as a start-up business under the TMA umbrella.

She is an amazing professional who gets things done.

She has great listening skills which helps her to understand the issues and opportunities first and before she thinks of solutions. She is creative and seeks to find methods and approaches that will have the desired impact and result. Stephanie is naturally emphatic which provides insight into the feelings that others may have in receiving the messages that are being contemplated.

Finally, Stephanie has the capacity to understand a broad range of topics and can constructively contribute to any topic or discussion. I would welcome Stephanie to any team that I was part of.”
