Stephanie Rosado, PhD, adjunct professor in the School of Social Work and graduate of the doctoral program in the School of Social Work, participated in the 3rd Annual Inflamed Sisters Thriving Summit and Gala in St. Petersburg, where she served as a health panel speaker.
Inflamed Sisters Thriving, Inc., is a nonprofit that brings together individuals living with autoimmune and chronic illness, along with their supporters, at the annual summit.
As a researcher, wellness coach, and osteoarthritis warrior, Rosado shared inspiring, evidence-informed insights on living well with chronic pain. "This event was special, and I feel fortunate to be able to use my voice and experience to elevate the stories of those living with chronic illness on International Women's Day," said Rosado.
From her career as a professional athlete to her role as a licensed social work supervisor in an inner-city child welfare agency, Rosado brings a wealth of unique expertise and skills that inform her work in social work, research, advocacy, and overall wellness.
