How You Can Become a More “City-Centric” Person

CITY CENTRIC is hosted by Sthephanie Marie, a native of San Juan, Puerto Rico, who later moved with her family to Campbell, Ohio. Following graduation in 2018 from Youngstown State University with a major in communication and a minor in theater, she pursued work in the entertainment industry. She has achieved great success in the pageant industry, representing Ohio in the Miss USA 2020 contest, placing in the top five at Miss Puerto Rico Universe in 2021 and placing third runner-up as the United States representative at Miss Grand International in 2023.

Witnessing how Alzheimer’s disease affected her grandmother, Maria, Sthephanie Marie decided to raise awareness and funds for the Alzheimer’s Association. She has been an active participant in The Walk to End Alzheimer’s for several years, with a mission of spreading awareness and helping those affected by the disease.
