Before joining the Institute, Stephanie developed her interest in sustainability during her studies at Erasmus University Rotterdam, where she took part in community-focused environmental initiatives. She went on to gain hands-on marketing experience with sustainability‑oriented organizations, contributing to digital marketing at Workaway.info, a global volunteering and cultural exchange platform that promotes responsible travel, and supporting event marketing and PR for Surfana Festival, an environmentally conscious surf and music festival. Her commitment to sustainability further strengthened during a sand dam construction project in Kenya, where working alongside local communities on water‑security efforts gave her firsthand insight into the impacts of climate change and reinforced her desire to contribute to meaningful, community‑driven solutions.
