The Odyssey: From Himalayan Heights to Holistic Depths
Stephanie’s journey traces back to her multicultural roots, spanning Malaysia, Indonesia, and Australia. With a background in Marketing and International Business, she spent over a decade working with world-class companies in the advertising industry.

During her long stint with her ailing mother, Stephanie experienced an epiphany amid the echoes of loss, inspiring her to commit her life to serving humanity.
