Stephanie Moran Reed is a nationally certified Activity Director who is dedicated to helping seniors attain the best possible quality of life. She received her ADC (Activity Director Certified) status through the NCCAP (National Certification Council for Activity Professionals), a federally recognized organization that certifies activity professionals who work with the elderly.

 

Her passion for helping seniors began as an undergraduate at U.C.L.A. where she earned her B.S. in Cognitive Science, Minor in Gerontology, and Specialization in Computing. As a student, Stephanie volunteered at senior assisted living communities and adult day centers. Her interests in human biology and gerontology and the gratification she received from providing quality, person-centered care led her to a professional career working with seniors.
