Stefanie Corlew

Director of Finance and Administration

Stefanie directs the Finance, Human Resource and administrative staff at Adoption Network Cleveland. The youngest of three, Stefanie grew up in the small town of Elyria, Ohio. Stefanie received a basketball scholarship to our own Myers University in Cleveland (she wishes that the WNBA was formed just a few years earlier) and received her Bachelor of Science in accounting in 1993.

Stefanie began her career in the retail industry, beginning at Wal-Mart stores as an assistant manager and ending up at Target stores. This experience sharpened her interpersonal relationship and customer service skills. After discovering that there were such things as holidays, nights and weekends off, she decided to change career paths into the world of accounting.

Stefanie started her new career at the Berea Children's Home & Family Services as a temp worker and quickly moved her way up the chain of command to the accounting manager. She served nine years at BCHFS where she was responsible for all daily accounting functions of the organization. She joined the staff of Adoption Network Cleveland in 2006 and has grown as a leader. She serves on the Board of an organization called LEAP and also serves on the Finance Committee of Community Shares. Stefanie is a proud mother of three.
