Stephanie got her start at Arcules as an HR consultant during the company’s first month. The company’s commitment to building a strong workplace culture that creates an environment where employees can take risks and innovate is what kept her coming back and eventually ending up as the Director of Human Resources. Stephanie has over 15 years of HR experience, including previous work in grocery, small business consulting, manufacturing and distribution. During her HR career, she has overseen hiring and onboarding for new grocery stores, helped to open a new distribution center for a vitamin company and ran her own consulting business. Her HR writing has appeared on several sites, including Workology, The HR Gazette, HR Writer and TalentCulture.

Stephanie also has a nonprofit background and founded an all-volunteer nonprofit to advocate for fair chance hiring policies and to help the formerly incarcerated get back to work. She maintains a strong commitment to community organizing and has served on the Orange County Re-Entry Partnership advisory committee and volunteered with other local organizations. When she is not working at Arcules or in her community, she enjoys reading, baking, hiking and road tripping.
