About Stephanie
Organizational Consultant | Leadership Coach | Healthcare & Operations Professional
I founded Resilient Roots Coaching with a belief that meaningful, sustainable change begins by understanding both people and the systems around them.
My career has taken me across clinical nursing, healthcare administration, quality and performance improvement, operations, organizational development, and consulting. Working within complex organizations has given me a firsthand understanding of the challenges leaders and teams face—from navigating change and improving processes to strengthening communication, developing people, and creating systems that actually support the work being done.
I hold a Master of Arts in Industrial & Organizational Psychology, with graduate training focused on workplace dynamics, leadership development, performance, and organizational effectiveness. Combined with my professional experience, this allows me to approach challenges from both a human and operational perspective.
Today, through Resilient Roots, I partner with organizations, leaders, and professionals navigating growth, change, and transition. My work spans organizational effectiveness, operational and process improvement, healthcare quality and risk, leadership development, and individualized coaching.Alongside my organizational work, I provide individualized leadership and career coaching for professionals navigating growth, transition, burnout, increasing responsibility, or questions about what comes next.
Across both sides of my work, my approach is grounded in the same principle: lasting change happens when people, purpose, and performance are aligned.
I bring evidence-based psychology, systems thinking, practical strategy, and genuine curiosity to every engagement. Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all solution, I work to understand what's happening beneath the surface, identify what is creating friction, and help clients build a path forward that is both meaningful and sustainable.
Why I Do This Work
My own journey has included navigating burnout, rebuilding confidence, redefining success, and learning to use my voice more fully in both leadership and life. For nearly two decades, I also balanced building a career with raising my son as a single mother.
Those experiences shaped my belief that meaningful leadership isn't simply about accomplishing more. It's about developing the self-awareness to know what matters most, the confidence to trust yourself, and the courage to speak and lead authentically.
That belief is at the heart of Resilient Roots—and particularly my passion for helping individuals recognize their strengths, use their voice, and step more confidently into leadership.
