Stephanie Nicole Ross Foundation

Stephanie Nicole Ross Foundation The Stephanie Nicole Ross Foundation celebrates Steff's life by encouraging those who advance the causes that inspired her.

Stephanie Nicole Ross was born on June 6, 1987 in Lakeland, Florida. She was a 2005 graduate of Lakeland High School and received her Bachelor of Arts in psychology from the University of South Florida in 2012. She planned to pursue a doctorate in Aging Studies in the fall of 2013 in order to further her research on human cognition and non-pharmacological interventions for cognitive impairment acr

oss the life span. Stephanie was dedicated to working with people with neurological conditions and hoped to spread her enthusiasm by teaching others about the complexity and wonders of the human brain. A kind and gentle person, Stephanie loved horses, dogs, and animals of all kinds. On December 10, 2012, Stephanie was working as a health care service coordinator when she was attacked by a client while conducting a home visit. Tragically, she did not survive the attack, but by the age of only 25, she was already an inspiration to those around her. People from all walks of life acknowledge her exceptional personal, academic, and professional promise; her fascination with the human brain and pursuit of knowledge; her willingness to serve and better the lives of others; and her unwavering love of animals.
