About

Stephanie holds a PhD and MSc, both in Public Health (UofA). Since joining the UofA in 2011, she has held various roles applying research evidence to advance EDI, particularly in healthcare settings. Stephanie has extensive experience as a qualitative researcher who collaborates closely with ethno-cultural and equity-denied groups. She is also a certified implementation practitioner with expertise in identifying policies, practices, and infrastructure that contribute to inequities. Stephanie’s skills and experience as both an implementation specialist and a health equity researcher support the UofA's commitment to advancing EDI principles across all research disciplines at the university. She also plays a key role in identifying ways to better support researchers from underrepresented and equity-denied groups.

In her role as Program Officer for EDI in Research, Stephanie will ensure that the Office of the Vice-President (Research) supports equitable and inclusive practices in research, promoting diverse perspectives that enable better research and greater impact.
