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

I was fortunate in securing a teaching and research position at the Department of General Practice and Primary Care, hold government and RACGP roles and develop a research program on data and clinical decision support. I have recently moved to Singapore to be Co-Director of Primary Care and Family Medicine at LKC Medicine, Nanyang Technological University Singapore.

What was the best thing about your GR?

Supervisors and team members who treated me as an equal and actively sponsored me to travel, apply for grants and participate in related research activities and collaborations. This gave me a better understanding of what it was like to work as an academic and how I could make a contribution nationally and internationally.

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

Think outside your thesis. Consider your professional and personal development goals. Have an eye on what you would like your future to look like post PhD. Be proactive and take up mentor and sponsor opportunities. Enjoy life outside of the PhD!
