Stephanie Pavone

Stephanie Pavone grew up in Rancho Cucamonga, California, where she had the opportunity of having the city, suburbs, and the beach within a reasonable distance. At the age of 17, she left California to pursue a Finance degree at the University of Tennessee Knoxville.

Keeping up with school work, and a part time job, keeps her very busy, and requires her to keep a semi-strict time management schedule. While School and work are her main focuses, she takes time to enjoy her new home, and get involved in the community. She enjoys gardening in her free time and was able to create her first cactus garden this past summer. She also participates in a church ran program called “FISH”, where she assists in supplying food for families and people in need every month. She has joined a few honor societies in school that focus on opportunities and community involvement in Knoxville.

Accomplishing a move, so far away from everything Pavone knew as home, is just one of many goals she has planned for herself. One of her main goals is to work in corporate finance in the food industry; however, she has a broad goal to further her mentality of welcoming new experiences, and giving full commitment to experiences pursued. She welcomes all opportunities to broaden her skills and dreams, and she hopes to bring perseverance and excitement to every experience.
