Board & Leadership

As the Senior Manager of Corporate Social Responsibility on the External Affairs Team at Walt Disney World Resort, Stefanie leads the Resort’s CSR strategy and philanthropic giving, focusing on education, poverty, environment, children’s hospital programs and wish granting for critically ill children. She leads a team that brings the magic of Disney into the community and impacts the lives of local children and families through a variety of distinguished programs and distinctly Disney offerings and experiences.

Stefanie has a long history of pursuing equity, access and opportunity for at-risk populations through public policy and charitable initiatives. She has worked in leadership roles in Government Relations for two of the country’s top innovative education leaders – Project Lead The Way and Florida Virtual School – where she worked on legislation that expanded educational opportunities for students across the east coast of the United States, from Florida to Maine. In her ten years of experience in education, Stefanie became a passionate advocate for students and has a deep understanding of the education system – both the challenges and successes that exist within it.

Prior to taking on education policy roles, Stefanie served as Executive Director of the Central Florida Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation where she created fundraising campaigns that gained national exposure and authored multiple community needs assessments used by leading local health organizations. In her time there, she grew the affiliate to the largest revenue state it had ever seen and worked on multiple federal and state public policies that increased funding for breast cancer research and expanded health insurance coverage requirements that people are still benefiting from today.

Stefanie graduated from the University of Central Florida, where she studied Communications and Political Science. She resides in Apopka, Florida, with her husband and their two sons.
