has also worked at various corporate and sporting events, including
business exhibitions and the London Marathon, where she gave post

She
has also participated in various types of charity & voluntary work,
recently returning from a volunteer placement in Nepal, where she
spent four weeks helping to build a new orphanage in a small village
just outside Kathmandu (www.aidcamps.org).
She managed to raise a substantial amount of sponsorship money for
the placement through giving massage treatments to clients and
acquaintances, and regularly gave very welcome massages to fellow
volunteers after a hard day on the orphanage building site!
 Stephanie also
enjoys playing tennis in her spare time, having played for her
