Stephanie is a passionate advocate who serves on the UPMC Hillman Cancer Center community advisory board and Servier Pharmaceuticals patient expert council, she was a 40 under 40 honoree in 2019, and was recently quoted in a Time magazine article on the unique challenges faced by young adults with cancer.
