Hey, I’m Stef.
Journalism as Advocacy, Story as Power.
Harnessing my diverse passions in tandem with storytelling, policy, and multimedia journalism, I work alongside communities to disrupt the systems that impact them.

Voice Lab transforms personal stories into collective advocacy, equipping communities with tools in journalism, media, and storytelling to challenge systems and create change.

Community Commons develops tools and workshops that help businesses and community organizations collaborate in ways that strengthen both community impact and sustainability.
The Mentors: Youth Pathways
