Stef's path to success has been anything but easy. At the tender age of 15, she underwent a life-altering experience when her right foot was amputated due to a boating accident. Nevertheless, this setback did not deter her from pursuing her dreams. Today, Stef is a five-time world record holder, a long jump world champion, and a triple Paralympic medalist. In addition to her athletic accomplishments, she holds an honours degree in Biochemistry and has ventured into various fields such as broadcasting, public speaking, acting, and modelling.
Following her participation in the Tokyo 2021 Paralympics, Stef showcased her versatility by competing in the popular show Dancing on Ice in 2022. Subsequently, she announced her retirement from elite sports. Stef's impact extends far beyond athletics. She made history as the first disabled model to be featured in a high-street retailer's campaign and has been widely recognized for her contributions to Paralympic sport. Moreover, she actively engages with charities that strive to enhance opportunities for individuals with disabilities.
Stef is an international speaker with a portfolio that includes corporate keynote speeches, event hosting, guest lecturing, and consulting with the Vatican! Stef inspires and challenges audiences through her messages of resilience, perseverance, and adopting a growth mindset.
Off the track, Stef’s enthusiasm and approachability have helped her develop into an in-demand speaker and media personality. Some of her recent adventures include Dancing On Ice 2022, being part of the Channel 4 Tokyo Paralympic coverage, working as a BBC broadcast journalist for the Invictus Games 2022, and becoming the first British amputee to walk the London Fashion Week Catwalk.
