"I am thrilled that William Paterson is offering a program geared towards women," says Nafin Elias '20, MA '22, treasurer of the Alumni Executive Council. "The Wellness for Women event provides an opportunity to learn from other alumnae health experts while lifting one another up."
The evening will feature presentations by four keynote speakers: Jhiree Davis-Jones ’06, MEd ’13, a licensed professional counselor and owner of Cherry Blossom Healing and a middle school counselor in Paterson; Stefanie Shore, MSN ’23, a nurse practitioner and motivational speaker; Stephanie Spies '17, CFP®, a financial advisor with Modera; and Rebecca Stegmann, MA ’20, a licensed professional counselor and owner of Camellia Counseling.

Bring a friend!”
