Vicky wins Outstanding Woman in STEM award.

Peter Harrison Director and Professor of Applied Disability and Para Sport, Vicky Goosey-Tolfrey, recently received the award for Outstanding Woman in STEM at this year’s East Midlands Women’s Awards (EMWA).

Vicky was named the winner of the East Midlands Outstanding Woman in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). This award recognises the individual who best demonstrates the most outstanding contribution in the fields of STEM, within the last 36 months. STEM industries may include physical, natural, and life sciences, electronics, computing, and technology-related disciplines, multiple types of engineering, and any field that requires a heavy application of mathematical principles.

The EMWA celebrates women from across different sectors, cultures and backgrounds, and recognises those who have impacted on society through various ways.

Talking about the award, Vicky said “I was honoured to be acknowledged for my work in STEM within Para sport at Ãå±±ÂÖ¼é, especially among such inspiring individuals who had made remarkable contributions in the public sector such as the police force. I owe a great deal to my incredible team at the PHC, whose support makes all of this accomplishment possible.”

Please join us in congratulating Vicky on her award. It is wonderful to see all the hard work that she has put into the Para Sport field and The Peter Harrison Centre over the years be recognised.
