Meet our Staff

Stefanie has been a familiar face in the cheerleading community in Rockland County for close to two decades. As an athlete and then a coach, Stefanie has cheered for and coached at multiple levels and organizations, fueling her love and drive for the sport. Stefanie appreciates the value and importance of being well-rounded, and that is why she works with athletes at Rise Athletics NY on more than their skills, but their strength and character.

Holding a Doctorate of Physical Therapy from Mercy College, Stefanie regularly works with school-age children on achieving goals of functionality by using a multidisciplinary approach melding biomechanics, patient and parent education, and therapeutic exercise. It is Stefanie’s passion for supporting children reach their full potential that she seamlessly carries from classroom to the mat, and beyond. For the past 15 years, as an Elite Cheerleading Coach and All Star Program Director, Stefanie has worked with countless athletes at Mania Training Facility. Stefanie is certified by USASF in stunting and tumbling, and is re-certified annually on concussion protocol and best practices.
