• Stephanie Keene

    Higher Education Professional | Consultant | Trainer

    Hi there! I'm Stephanie Keene, a seasoned higher education professional with extensive experience in both domestic and international college settings. Over the decades, my focus has been on fostering purpose-driven, service-oriented, and diversity, equity, and inclusion-minded students who actively engage with their communities. My passion lies in student success and creating a comprehensive, positive educational experience.

     

    Beyond my career, I have a deep love for travel, hiking, cooking, and spending time with my adorable chihuahua, Kahlo. Having explored over 30 countries, I thrive on immersing myself in diverse cultures, which continually enriches my personal and professional growth. Fun fact: I'm an expert at winning prizes from claw machines and have a knack for spicy food challenges.

     

    I enjoy connecting with new people and am always eager to learn from others' perspectives. Let's connect and share experiences!
