Graduate Research Assistant
Lewis University
Chicago, Illinois, United States
Stefan comes from a small town called Tecumseh in southeastern Michigan where he lived with his mother Heather, his father Dario, and sister Sadie. He graduated from Eastern Michigan University in 2015 with a degree in Linguistics. Although he found the study of language interesting, he knew his true calling was to help other people. So, in 2020, Stefan earned his post-baccalaureate certificate in Communication Sciences, again, from Eastern Michigan University. Eager to get to work, he volunteered at the University of Michigan Aphasia Program, leading conversational groups for adults with Aphasia. He knew then and now that his passion would be working with adults with Acquired Brain Injuries. After marrying his wife Omotunde in 2021, he moved to Chicago to be with her and to begin his graduate career at Lewis University. There, under the guidance of an esteemed faculty, he has learned how his passion for language can change the lives of other humans for the better and looks forward to a future in the field of Speech-Language Pathology. Aside from Speech Language Pathology, Stefan is an avid boxer, a fan of the Detroit Lions, and father of a two-year-old Chihuahua named Obi.
