Get to Know the ADF: Stephany Yang

As an organisation dedicated to fuelling Catholic mission, we want to introduce you to the people who are behind the flexible solutions, strategic advice and specialised services, and who help to deliver a different set of dividends for those we serve.  

For nearly eight years, Steph has been a vital part of the team here at the ADF. As a Relationship Manager, she supports a diverse portfolio of customers across education, healthcare and our Catholic parishes – always with a focus on service, trust and meaningful engagement. 

Prior to joining the ADF, Steph spent 13 years in the banking sector, where she developed a strong foundation in customer service.  

“Delivering excellent customer service has always been my focus and passion,” she shares.  

“I enjoy making customers’ lives easier!”. This mindset seamlessly transferred to her current role here at the ADF, where the mission is deeply purposeful. 

“What I find most fulfilling is that everything we do is about fuelling Catholic mission,” Steph explains.  

Coming from a corporate environment where profit was at the forefront, Steph finds ADF’s values-driven approach both refreshing and rewarding. Whether it’s aligning support with the long-term vision of projects like school buildings or offering practical solutions to make things easier for our customers, her purpose remains the same: fuelling Catholic mission.  

Looking ahead, Steph sees a bright future for ADF.  

“I believe we’ll continue confidently on our path while staying true to our mission and values,” she says.  

Steph also hopes to see ADF play a greater role in connecting its community of customers; encouraging collaboration and shared learning across sectors. 

Outside of work, Steph has a genuine love for learning, particularly when it comes to languages, art, and exploring different cultures. Lately, she’s been hooked on Wordscapes – a word puzzle game that keeps her mind active and engaged. When it comes to relaxing after a busy day, you’ll find her curled up with a good book, watching a movie, or fitting in a few more puzzles.  

Steph’s journey with the ADF reflects a blend of professionalism, personal values, and a strong commitment to mission.
