Biography

Stephanie has worked in the higher education sector, and in widening participation specifically, for 15 years. As Head of Widening Participation and Outreach, Stephanie is responsible for overseeing the university’s strategy to increase participation from groups currently under-represented at The University of Manchester, and in higher education more generally.

Stephanie also represents the university on a number of regional and national groups: she is Chair of the Greater Manchester Higher Steering Group, is a member of Manchester City Council’s Curriculum for Life Steering Group, and sits on one of the Fair Education Alliance’s working groups.
 

Prior to joining The University of Manchester, Stephanie was a languages teacher in a Manchester secondary school. Stephanie is also a school governor at a special school in Manchester, and is trustee for the charity North West Gifted and Talented (NWGT).
