In an interview with People Magazine in November 2013, Stephanie shared her inspiring philosophy, stating, "There's Nothing in My Life That Would Limit My Ability to Succeed," a message that has resonated with both the Deaf and hearing communities alike.
Stephanie has emerged as a role model, captivating audiences with her commanding presence in the public eye and showcasing her impressive range as an actress.
In addition to her acting pursuits, Stephanie is also an accomplished hair and petite model, boasting an impressive three magazine covers to her credit.
