Consulting

Stephanie is a PR strategist with expertise in the outdoor recreation/active lifestyle space who has created award-winning campaigns for national and local brands. She is a go-to resource for those looking to understand 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.

I worked with the SNVBC to improve our city’s quality of life by making our streets safer for cyclists and other vulnerable road users.

Skye Canyon

This master-planned community in northwest Las Vegas had a uniquely aspirational message: a base camp for the great outdoors.

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.
