In the years that followed she delivered hands-on video production training to youth in STEAM-qualified programs across San Diego County. Stephanie is determined that one day Pay It Forward Media will not only prepare youth for the workforce, but also be a job creator where students can grow into mentors and pay it forward along the way….
