Bio
Jennifer Long, MPAff, CFRE
In the many years we worked together I recognized Stephani's dedication and innovation in cultivating strong, impactful relationships with donors. She views fundraising as relationship-building, and she built an effective annual giving program that incorporated industry best practices and her own creativity. Stephani's relationship-building skills are impressive and authentic, and she has a wonderfully positive outlook, even in times of high stress. Her collaborative nature and her willingness to both teach and learn from others make her a colleague that I not only appreciated, but also enjoyed. I would welcome the opportunity to work with Stephani again in the future.

In our years of working together at St. Edward's University, Stephani impressed me with her consistent delivery of results, extraordinary attention to detail and quiet determination to succeed. In managing the university’s Phonathon, she supervised a large student staff with patience, good humor, and a professional demeanor that encouraged the students to conduct themselves professionally as well. During high-pressure times of the year, such as attempting to reach the end of fiscal year goal of securing a certain number of Leadership Annual Donors, Stephanie demonstrated tremendous patience and grace under pressure. She was able to motivate colleagues who did not report to her, yet whose performance would directly impact her results, to respond to her using her using only her natural leadership abilities. Both at St. Edward’s and at the Livestrong Foundation, Stephani has never been afraid to show her natural enthusiasm, dedication to the cause, and her respect and care for the constituents she serves. Her full and genuine embrace of an organization’s mission is what sets her apart from the many talented advancement professionals I have known. On the personal side, I stand in awe of her fearless spirit. I truly believe that there is nothing she cannot accomplish once she sets her mind to it.
