Associate Strategist
Stephanie van Hoek first joined the GNI team as a Project Manager in 2009, helping to advocate for children’s literacy in our community. She was born in Texas and got to Austin as fast as possible.
A University of Texas advertising graduate, experienced in social media, advertising, and media planning and buying, she has worked for agencies and media groups both locally and abroad. At GNI, she now wears many hats doing everything from managing projects and GNIʼs social media to graphic design and media planning. Stephanie is passionate about nonprofit work and is an active volunteer in Childrenʼs International Summer Villages, a peace education program that has taken her to France, Norway, and most recently, Iceland, in the effort to promote understanding and global friendship through children.
