Stephanie, finding her expression in sports back then in secondary school, played netball, badminton, and lacrosse.
Women in Sport has a performance history in unlocking possibilities and advancing the lives of women and girls, helping them attain their full potential in both sports and life. The organisation is breaking down the obstinate gender inequality in the sports sector and beyond.
