Despite facing obstacles from the very start, Stephanie was a determined child and an even more determined adult. She has never let her disability stop her from getting around and she even gained her nickname because of it. Stephanie is called “Hopper” because when she doesn’t wear her prosthetic limbs, she hops to get around. When asked about her disability, Stephanie insists that she would not change anything about herself, including having “normal” limbs. She says that would just make her “boring”. In addition to being a Paralympic athlete, she is also a college student working towards a business degree at King’s College.
