Stephanie’s pleasant disposition sends a calming sense of comfort and trust that our children at Burlington and Mebane Pediatrics are in great hands. As a Clinical Site Leader at the Mebane clinic, Stephanie provides leadership to the clinical team and operations. She’s loved by staff and families. Stephanie is known to make everyone’s days better. When doctors receive roadblocks in helping patients get great care, she always comes through. She is also the clinic’s Wellness Coordinator where she gets to plan activities and events focusing on physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Making sure all the offices have healthy snacks for everyone, and coordinating team-building events that promote health like organizing the practice team to participate in local 5K races. More importantly, Stephanie leads the clinic’s community service initiatives, including its year-long fundraiser events to support Christmas Cheer, the back-to-school supply drive in partnership with Alamance Chamber, and community awareness projects like those around child abuse prevention month.
As a parent of a teenager coming to the clinic, you can rest assured that Stephanie will have your back. She tells our teens when they think they know more than their parents, that she speaks from experience when she says that one day they will be looking back and thinking, you know my mom was right, I should have listened to her years ago.
Outside of work, Stephanie has served as the President of the Ladies Auxiliary since 2020 at Pleasant Grove Volunteer Fire Department where her husband Ryan is the Deputy Chief. She organizes most of the community events that are geared towards the children as well as tending to the firemen’s needs whenever called upon.
She is heavily involved with Alamance County Farm Bureau as a family. Her husband grew up on the McPherson farms in Mabane. She has been a part of the Young Farmer’s and Rancher’s Committee since 2016, a part of the Women’s Committee since 2018, and currently serves as their co-chair. These committees work to promote agriculture within our community and advocate for our farmers.
Stephanie stays busy with work and volunteering. “Some days it can be overwhelming but when the child or family that you helped smiles at you or thanks you for your blessing, the long days and tireless efforts are all worth it”. Her life mantra is “If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal, not to people or things.”-Albert Einstein
Stephanie was born and raised in Alamance County and currently resides in Mebane with her husband, Ryan and their 8-month-old daughter Stella. She is super excited about life right now. They are raising the daughter for whom they have so patiently waited for 5 years. She is grateful for her supportive husband.
Patience, dedication, and hard work are the qualities that Stephanie attributes to her success.
