Steph joined the AP Midwest team in 2022, from her first interaction with the team she knew it was a place she wanted to stay. “From my first interaction with the recruiter to each interview I had with the team I felt welcomed, which was very refreshing,” Steph said. The culture and camaraderie drew her in, but the relationships she has built are a reason AP feels like home.

Steph’s role was rather new to AP when she started. One of her main goals was, and is, to change the perception of HR. “There is a huge misconception that HR only shows up when something is wrong, but really I am here to foster an environment of learning and growth for our team members,” Steph explained. She says that the best part of her job is that she gets to collaborate with so many departments. Collaborating, coaching, and helping these departments look ahead at the big picture is what drives her.

In her time at AP, Steph has made a huge impact on many departments and team members. When asked what is next for her, she says she wants to continue supporting our teams and bring HR to the top of minds when issues arise, regardless of their nature.
