Stefanie Simons

Cambio Project Manager | Exploratorium

“Change is constant. That’s science—in the lab, on the court, and in your kitchen. That means you are a force, already. Imagine how powerful you are when you claim your place to shift any equation.”

As a Senior Project Manager for the Exploratorium in San Francisco, California, Stefanie acts as a bridge between specific projects and institution-wide goals and operations. She also serves on the museum’s Latinx Coordinating Committee, a diverse, cross-functional group dedicated to supporting Latinx community engagement and the organizational structures necessary to enact it. By centering mentorship for peers and emerging professionals in her work, Stefanie uses her position to lead from where she is and supports others to do the same. After earning BAs in Latin American studies and literary arts, Stefanie worked in program and event production, including formative years at the arts and human-rights organization PEN America. She has applied her expertise across fields, from corporate to nonprofit to start-up. She has developed work for ASTC, The New York Times, Macmillan Learning, Brown University, San Francisco AIDS Walk, Zyzzyva literary magazine, and many other businesses. Working on the Cambio project from month 1 onward with this community of dedicated, brave, faceted professionals will forever be a joy and pride for her.
