After becoming a mom and seeing firsthand the benefit of entrepreneurship, Stephanie launched Wealth of Family, a course and community for moms looking start their own business to avoid going back to a job they dread. Stephanie guides the women to leverage their passions, strengths and values, and look for the intersecting economic opportunity (what someone will pay you for). The first cohort has seen moms start businesses that are good for the environment and community.
Stephanie is an executive and Past-President on the McMaster Alumni Association, on the McMaster Board of Governors and an Advisor to startup TrustClarity. Stephanie has a degree in Arts & Science from McMaster University and a MA from the University of Innsbruck, Austria.
