Consulting

Stephanie is a PR strategist who has worked with national and local brands, nonprofits and startups. She’s created and guided brand communication strategies, forged key partnerships, and has helped bring aspirational stories to life.

Stephanie is a go-to resource for organizations aligned with Southern Nevada’s fast-growing outdoor recreation space.

Before we even broke ground, Skye Canyon engaged Stephanie to lend authenticity to our brand. We envisioned creating a community that’s a base camp for the great outdoors. Her understanding of the active lifestyle consumer and local outdoor recreation market resulted in messaging, events, and brand partnerships that helped take our aspirational story and make it a reality.

Speaking

Stephanie has addressed audiences about going from professional rock climbing athlete to PR agency founder, and she’s sat on panels discussing ways to harness the economic impact of outdoor recreation. Having come back from a life-altering injury, she also offers people a how-to guide on rewriting a personal or brand story.

Stephanie has a genuine passion for sharing compelling stories. In her speaking, her storytelling marries expertise and authenticity in a way that is rarely found.

- Tanya Sheckley, Founder & President, UP Academy

Stephanie is a natural connector and problem-solver who brings a relationship-focused approach to her work. She quickly identifies connections between organizations that are not always apparent but result in getting more stakeholders into the fold and strategies that create change. For SNVBC, that meant developing safety campaigns with a broad appeal that meant more buy-in and activation around achieving zero fatalities.
