                                                    Bio
                                                    Stephanie has 10+ years experience in franchising and led the growth of her last franchise brand up 266% in less than 3 years. She's a system optimization pro, loves project management, and is a compassionate, ambitious leader.
Stephanie lives in Virginia with her husband and 2 kids. You'll often find her outside gardening, on the water, or spending time with family.
Stephanie started her career working on the operator side of a multi location retail business. She learned how to lead all departments and build a business from the ground up.
She took a 2-location store with a 50 square ft warehouse and grew it into 14 retail stores, a massive 200k square ft warehouse, a distribution center, and a 50-seat Call Center.
As a lifelong learner, and after spending a decade in franchising in operations, training, and leadership roles, Stephanie wanted to work in an education space to make franchising a better industry - more successful brands, skilled owners, and thriving teams.
Joining the AC Inc team in 2023 to lead courses and develop more field coaching education made perfect sense. Stephanie brings leadership and expertise to the AC courses and trainings.
