Her Interview
Ten minutes with Stephanie
01What do you attribute your success to?
I believe my success comes from hard work, and staying true to who I am. I've learned something from every challenge and every person I've had the opportunity to work with. Success isn't about one accomplishment—it's about showing up (early), doing your best, and loving what you do!
02What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
The best advice I've received is to never stop learning. Every event, every obstacle, and every person you work with teaches you something..... if you pay attention.
03What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
My advice to young women entering the industry is to embrace your confidence when stepping into unfamiliar situations. Believe in yourself, and be willing to take on whatever comes your way. Put yourself in rooms where you can learn, surround yourself with people who challenge you, and always be early- on time is considered late.
04What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
The biggest opportunity in our industry right now is the ability to adapt. Technology and digital communication have changed how we connect, but they've also created new ways to bring people together through live experiences. I think there's a real opportunity for companies to make connections within their organizations, and that's where VEP excels. We understand the value of those relationships and create events that bring people together for lasting impact.
05What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
For me, it comes down to authenticity. I believe in being honest, building real relationships, and creating an environment where people feel comfortable sharing ideas. That's when the best work happens.
