Biography

In the corporate world Stephanie is an industry leading Partnerships & Alliances professional.

She co-founded 'Women in Alliances' in 2020 which is a global volunteer organisation supporting over 950 women to help build their network and skill development. Her area of expertise for Partnerships is in Data and AI. It is in her personal life where you will find her passion for the spiritual, which includes frequent pilgrimage across Europe, voluminous reading of theology, and particularly an interest in martyrdom.

Research interests

Her MPhil, 'The Hermeneutics of Miracle in the Martyrdom Narratives of the Early Church', was under the supervision of Allen Brent at King's College, London. Continuing in martyrdom studies at SOAS, St Cyprian's corpus offers a perfect arena to examine the impact of martyrdom on the effect of communion.

He also provides insight into the development of the early church in North Africa which was labelled 'the church of the martyrs'.
