Stephanie has been a dedicated member of the With Hope Foundation since 2024, serving as Social Media Coordinator. Her journey with With Hope began in a meaningful and unexpected way, in her styling chair while talking to a client, Annette Craig. During the conversation about the Foundation’s growing need for social media support, she shared her interest in taking on part-time work in that area. That moment sparked her involvement, and she has since played an important role in helping share With Hope’s mission of suicide prevention, mental health awareness, and education with a broader community.

In addition to her work at With Hope, Stephanie owns and operates a small hair studio, where she has built lasting relationships with a wonderfully diverse group of clients. She values connection and conversation, and her chair has become a welcoming space where people feel seen and heard, something that beautifully aligns with the heart of With Hope’s mission.

Outside of work, she enjoys spending time outdoors, camping, hiking, kayaking, and seeking new adventures whenever she can, as well as plenty of playtime with her beloved pets.

Stephanie lives in Durham, North Carolina, with her senior dog and energetic young cat.

With Hope, the Amber Craig Memorial Foundation is dedicated to suicide prevention through mental health awareness and education in our schools and throughout our communities.
