Steph is a cis-woman of colour, daughter of immigrant parents, and passionate about creating spaces that invite folks to bring their full identity to the table. Outside of work, Steph is usually adventuring with friends, finding an overly complex recipe to tackle, or following her tastebuds around the city of Toronto in search of the perfect bite.
