Simple work question

Hey guys, my teacher asked us:

A 55kg woman runs up a flight of stairs having a rise of 4.5m in 3.5s. What average power must she supply?

I used the kinetic energy formula:

1/2(55)((4.5/3.5)^2) = J
Watts = J/3.5

Is that the right approach? Because i cant get the answer in the back of the book :(

use gpe instead of ke, because she is going up the stairs
