Shortly after completing her studies there, she began her Master’s at the world-renowned Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute. She later refined her craft in the Stanislavski Method at the Stella Adler Academy of Acting. The skills acquired at these institutions have empowered her to transform her roles authentically, analyze scripts effectively, and apply her understanding of the diverse human experience to each character. She has been a member of the Actors Studio for five years, having been selected following her second audition.
Over the past two years, Stefanie has continued to develop her craft at the Ivana Chubbuck Studio in Hollywood.

Recently, Stefanie produced her first film, Malecón, in Cuba. She has also written two original screenplays: Behind the Front, which focuses on mental health and depression, and 2C, addressing the issue of drug abuse and its impact on youth.
In addition to her work in film, Stefanie is the founder and CEO of MOOR NYC, a New York–based lifestyle brand specializing in thoughtfully designed travel accessories for pets. Inspired by her own travels and her close bond with her dog, the company was created to merge functionality, design, and comfort for modern pet owners on the move. The venture reflects her entrepreneurial spirit and her commitment to creating products with purpose and care.
Inspired by the diverse cultures she has encountered through her extensive travels, Stefanie’s understanding and compassion for people are evident in her performances. Having lived in seven countries and visited nearly seventy others, she has undertaken humanitarian missions in Africa and collaborates with international organizations advocating for children’s education and working to eradicate child sexual abuse and trafficking.
Stefanie seeks projects that resonate with her independent spirit and emotional depth, aiming to make a positive contribution to various social communities. She has a passion for contemporary art, literature, and poetry, and aspires to direct her own scripts that tell the stories of real people facing extraordinary challenges, giving a voice to the voiceless.
