Shining a light on invisible illness | Stephanie Young | TEDxAshburyCollege
Illness can take up many form, both visible and invisible. In this talk, Ms. Stephanie Young discusses her own experiences living with IBD. Stephanie is in her eighth year as the Director of Development at Ashbury College, bringing more than 15 years of experience from independent schools across Canada. She jokes that she is “hooked” on the Ashbury community and adores her work engaging with parents, alumni, and friends of the school to generate multi-faceted support for our students and faculty. When Stephanie isn’t immersed in her work or spending time with her two children, Bailey and Paige, she loves getting outside, cooking in her kitchen, or finding moments of zen in a yoga class.
