Stephanie Percy
Trainer
Stephanie works at Pathfinders Learning as a cognitive trainer. Right now, she is studying Child Development at California State University, Fullerton. Before Pathfinders, she worked as a nanny and from there she decided that helping children learn and grow was how she wanted to spend her time. When she’s not working, chances are she’s near the beach or spending time with her dog. Her favorite thing about Pathfinders is how supportive and positive everyone is.
