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

I initially got a job as the Research Lead of a project at SANE Australia, developing and evaluating a digital suicide prevention campaign. After that wrapped up, I moved to Orygen (Centre for Youth Mental Health, University of Melbourne) where I am currently a Research Fellow in the suicide prevention team.

What was the best thing about your GR?

The support and advice I received from GR peer group throughout my PhD was critical in enabling me to complete my PhD successfully.

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

It can be hard but try not to compare yourself (project or progress) to other GR students. Everyone is on their own journey with unique, diverse challenges and timelines. Also, be sure to engage with the GR peer group as much as you can.
