Stephenie was ready for a career change, and found herself drawn to Solera Senior Living. “I believe in Solera’s mission,” she says. “I enjoy working with a team that is supportive of myself, staff, and our residents and families. She found the challenge she was looking for. “I love working with the residents and leadership of Lumina Las Vegas,” she says.

“My role as Wellness Director is challenging; however, it lets me do more for residents, families, and staff,” says Stephenie. When it comes to core values, she says communication speaks to her the most because it is “key to success in any part of life, including work.” Stephenie’s successful career spans 29 years in geriatrics in three states, including positions in sub-acute care, post-acute care, assisted living, and memory care.

When it comes to guilty pleasures, Stephenie is a devotee of cheesecake. She also loves to read books of any kind. In her spare time, she enjoys doing fun things with her grown daughter, as well as sleeping and meditating. And don’t forget Precious, her rescued cat, who believes she is a dog and likes to go walking on a leash.
