A celebration that marked not only her entry into adulthood but also an exciting new chapter in her life, the evening was a true reflection of who Stephanie is: graceful, intelligent, and deeply cherished by those who know her.
The birthday celebration came on the heels of another major achievement: Stephanie’s graduation from Saint Patrick Regional Secondary School. With her eyes now set on the future, she will be continuing her academic journey at Simon Fraser University (SFU), where she plans to study criminology. Her decision to pursue this path reflects her deep sense of justice, empathy, and desire to make a difference in her community.
Stephanie’s parents, Sally and Paterno Bacomo, went above and beyond to ensure their daughter’s birthday was nothing short of magical. As the only daughter and eldest child, Stephanie holds a very special place in their hearts. She is deeply loved—and rightfully so. Her parents spared no effort in making sure she had everything she wanted for her special day, showering her with love, joy, and a celebration worthy of the incredible young woman she is.

Gifted in both singing and dancing, she captivates audiences with her natural stage presence and expressive performances. Her love for music and movement is more than just a hobby—it’s a passion that brings people together and allows her to share her vibrant spirit with the world.
As Stephanie steps confidently into adulthood, her family and loved ones have no doubt that her future is as bright as her talents.
