In 1987, Stacy began work as a Family Life Consultant/Educator at various San Diego
developmental service providers. This expanded into sexual abuse investigational services utilized by various agencies
such as Adult Protective Services, the Sheriffs Department and the California Courts.
Stacy noticed a recurring need for sexual abuse education for those individuals
with cognitive/developmental disabilities. The "Array of Colors" curriculum was developed to educate
individuals susceptible to abuse and empower them through education in understanding the various relationships
in their lives, boundaries, and abuse awareness/prevention.
She received the 2002 Civic Club Award and the News 10 Leadership Award. She coordinates
projects, does public speaking, and assesses people with disabilities.
