Saint Stephen’s recently welcomed acclaimed speaker Kelsey Tainsh to campus. Tainsh successfully overcame a brain tumor at age five and went on to become a world champion wakeboarder. Ten years later, at 15, the tumor returned, followed by a crippling stroke. Despite her significant physical challenges, Tainsh worked hard to pull herself up and charged back into life, graduating magna cum laude from the University of Florida and going on to work for The Coca-Cola Company. A renowned professional speaker, Tainsh travels the country presenting to audiences at colleges, schools, organizations, and corporations. On Sept. 22, she used her unique brand of humor and inspiration to share a message of persistence and perspective with SSES students at all grade levels.
