Stephanie was assigned to work at the Family and Youth Service Center from its beginning, starting out as the Executive Assistant to Roxson. In the beginning Stephanie and Roxson worked late into the evening trying to find every child that was reported as being truant, knowing that truancy is the first indicator of trouble. Stephanie has become the resident expert of finding children and doing everything possible to ensure that they are seen, heard, and their problems addressed. Her dedication to children is admired and greatly appreciated by all who come in contact with her earning her recognition from the East Baton Rouge Sheriff through the "Above and Beyond Award" as well as the "Humanitarian Award " from the Louisiana State Chapter of the NAACP. Stephanie sees the worst in the world but believes in the best. Stephanie relies on her faith and when things are difficult, as they often are, she quotes Romans 8:28, "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him who have been called according to His Purpose." She is the mother of three beautiful daughters and the smartest, cutest and sweetest granddaughter ever. Vivienne has bounced around FYSC all of her life, so we all claim her as ours.
