Adventurer and Endurance Athlete

Stephanie's talks are about getting past the hurdles in your own life, and she has tested that idea hard. She ran from Canberra to Sydney, more than a marathon's distance every day for seven days, and the money she raised paid for a new science and computer lab at a village school in Nepal. She also skied 580 km across Greenland over a month, dragging her own sled of more than 60 kg. Both trips threw up mental and emotional hurdles as well as physical ones, and those are what she unpacks for an audience. She suits a school assembly, a corporate wellbeing session or an after-dinner slot. She'll need a microphone, a projector and a screen. Based on the Gold Coast, she travels nationwide.
