Aside from some paralegal work Stephanie did whilst studying, Stephanie has been at Sparkes the entirety of her legal career.
Stephanie’s greatest love is ballet, having practised it since she was little and completed various exams (including one at age 30!). Stephanie considers it a great form of exercise and gives her the best excuse to avoid the gym. Stephanie also enjoys baking, playing board games and trips to the park with her young family and friends.
