Stacy understands the importance of mentorship because her own career & business have been built on the opportunities introduced to her by mentors.  Stacy has worked in many different industries including insurance investigation, engineering management, manufacturing new product development, and operations for an employee assistance program.

Followed by the creation of Pop-Up Mentor, a brand new way to mentor in 2018.
