She has also developed crisis communications plans with staff training.
“Central Tech has benefited greatly from Stephanie’s expertise, dedication and attention to details in developing an outstanding marketing plan for our school. Our enrollment numbers in all areas reflect tremendous growth that can be directly attributed to the marketing strategies she has initiated,” said Ron Dyer, Central Tech superintendent.
