Stephanie has worked as a Programming and Communications Intern at Global Ties Detroit and as a PEERS Research Assistant for Michigan Medicine.

Her main interests are in the role of health governance and diplomacy in increasing culturally competent healthcare for marginalized communities through policy reform. She is particularly interested in immigrant health, mental health, and the overlap between the two. As a Margolis Scholar, Stephanie is looking forward to gaining an in-depth understanding of current health challenges and policy solutions, and to creating a widespread network of peers, faculty and health policy professionals. She is also looking to develop skills to reshape health and social systems through policy reform. Stephanie is also excited to collaborate with faculty and fellow Scholars on projects aimed at mitigating socio-cultural health impacts by translating research into effective legislation.
