In March 2016 she became a Master Trainer for TeamSTEPPS in the Operating Room and has helped champion TeamSTEPPS implementation and sustainability since that time. For her 2018 unit-based quality improvement project, Stephanie researched, outlined, and implemented a process improvement project pertaining to the improved waste stream practices in the operating room. She submitted it for her hospital's Nurses Week Poster Fair and submits it to the 2019 AORN Global Conference for consideration in the Clinical poster category. She has a passion for reducing the environmental impact of surgical services and this project was her first success as the hospital wide Green Team Lead. In this role, she spreads "green" practices to other units of the hospital by mentoring champions and giving presentations.
