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

I completed a postdoc at the University of New South Wales on the Second Australian Study of Health and Relationships. After that, I returned home to Canada, and am currently as a Research Program Manager working at the MAP Centre for Urban Health Solutions, Unity Health Toronto, facilitating projects in sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and STI-related cancers.

What was the best thing about your GR?

There were opportunities available that I wouldn’t have gotten anywhere else. I was part of a great team and it fostered many great international collaborations that I still have today.

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

Get outside and move around – great for both your mental and physical health, and for maintaining your sanity during the PhD!
