What has happened in your career since you completed your GR?

So much! All three of my kids have finished school. Worked on a randomised controlled trial in the area of contraception at Monash for four years. Did a few jobs working on some interesting reviews.  Continued clinical work as a NP at The Women’s. Working on another randomised controlled trial in Adolescent Health in the School of Population Health.

What was the best thing about your GR?

I loved learning from fellow students and getting to know them. Great support network. It launched my research career, enabled me to follow a passion and develop the necessary skills to work in randomized controlled trials, which I love.

What is one piece of advice you would give to current GR students?

Enjoy the ride!
