Her story

A trajectory
like no other.

Born in the mid-1980s, Stéphanie grew up with a childhood full of happy memories. Her teenage years were marked by self-questioning that would shape her strength of character and her ability to adapt.

It was in the Sea Cadets that she discovered discipline, independence and self-confidence. In 2008, she stumbled upon a magazine article about the legendary Badwater. That read was a spark — running became a true way of life.

In 2014, she discovered the joy of becoming a mother. This added a new depth to her outlook on life: passing on values, inspiring by example and reminding us that being present can transform a path.

“Performance isn't only about kilometres covered. It's a way to open doors, blaze trails and inspire other trajectories.”
