STEPHANIE
Where are you from?
Born & raised in Hicksville (Long Island, NY) around the block from my home girl, coach Selena
Career recap:
I have my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Master’s degree in Applied Behavior Analysis and now I am a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst. During my day to day, I typically work with individuals with severe disabilities. I help their teachers/therapist to push these individuals to meet their highest potential and manage their maladaptive behaviors. I love working in the field and seeing the progress each one of my students makes along the way. I have learned so many life lessons from all of the individuals I have had the amazing opportunity to work with.

Why coach at FORM50?
Fitness has been a very important part of my life since I can remember. I was a college athlete and have always been dedicated to my health and fitness. Form50 specifically has changed my life and my view on the fitness industry. I was in a life-altering car accident that kept me off my feet for about a year. I was SO self-conscious jumping back into fitness post-accident and had difficulty feeling myself again during recovery. Form50 was the first group fitness class I took after recovery and I couldn’t be more thankful to walk through those doors! I finally started feeling confident, was able to get back into working out and found a community of strong, hardworking boss babes! I knew I wanted to have the opportunity to give people what this place has given me! Form50 is filled with so many special people and amazing energy, I knew I wanted to be a part of the FormFam!
What’s your go-to place in the ‘hood to hang out?
