Stef is a high school teacher for Humanities and Legal Studies. She has been in the industry for over 10 years and it's a field she is incredibly passionate about.
She loves spending time with family and friends, reading, writing, dancing and playing tennis. She adores fashion and her dog Winston is her best buddy.
Something else about Stef is that she is a trans woman.
And her "road to womanhood" has been complex.
Watch: In his shoes. Post continues below.
From a young age, Stef "knew she was different".
She shared with Mamamia: "My own conservative Sri Lankan and Catholic culture held very rigid gender constructs. My social conditioning didn't assist either, perpetuating the notion that diverging from the script I was destined to play out would mean a hefty price to pay."
During her adolescence, Stef - like so many - did not have the language to articulate who she really was.
