“I have known Mrs. Stephern for quite a few years, as she served as my very first mentor and project preceptor during my undergraduate healthcare administration journey. Knowing very little about the healthcare industry at the time, I countlessly looked to her for guidance and advice in the hospital. She taught me not only through structured lessons, but by real-time example, on what leadership should look like. Fast-forward a few years later, I am now a certified Lean Six Sigma Green Belt and working as an Administrative Operations Manager in neurological pediatric services in Atlanta, GA. Her coaching services could not have come at a better time! Through the resources and encouragement she has provided me, I am even more confident in my job function abilities and overall skillset.”
