Stephanie is a Sustainability PhD at the Ivey Business School. Her research interests lie in exploring the intersection of business and sustainable development, with a particular focus on developing countries. Her goal is to build theories based on the region, for the region, and reimagine how we can create sustainable futures rooted in possibilities rather than probabilities. She believes that it is no longer sufficient to simply observe the past and present; and that it’s crucial for us to actively envision and construct the futures we aspire to live in.
