Personal life

Stewart was born on 13 June 1976. When she was 17 years old she injured her right ankle when she tripped on the stairs. This developed into reflex sympathetic dystrophy. She then fractured a bone in her left leg, which set off dystrophy in that leg as well. This resulted in her needing a wheelchair for mobility.[2][3] She plays the saxophone in a band.[4][5] She attended University of New South Wales and Sydney University, where she took classes in Cognitive Science, English, and Philosophy.[5] She has BSc (Honours) in Philosophy and Cognitive Science and a BA in English from the University of New South Wales.[4]

Stewart earned the Sydney University Vice Chancellor's Award for Academic and Sporting Achievement in 2004, and the New South Wales Institute of Sport (NSWIS) University of Sydney Academic Excellence award in 2009.[6][7] In 2012 she was a PhD candidate at the University of Sydney. She is a vegan and used Twitter to connect with others about being vegan.[3][8]

In the National Wheelchair Basketball League (NWBL), a mixed competition, she played for the West Sydney Razorbacks from 2002 to 2011. Since 2011 she has played for the Sydney University Wheelkings.[6]

Stewart won the 2001 and 2002 Encouragement Award in the Women's National Club Championships. In 2002, she was also named the Most Valuable Player (MVP) of the Southern Challenge.
