User engagement with type 2 diabetes self-management apps

Supervisors:

Prof Jane Speight, Dr Greg Wadley, Prof Rob Moodie

What is the weirdest thing that happened while you were at the School?:

I don’t think anything weird happened to me while I was at MSPGH.

What is your fondest memory from your PhD?:

This one is easy. I have lots of fond memories of my fellow PhD students. We got each other through what has been a very tough time for all.

What are you up to now?:

I am working part-time and will be looking for a post-doctoral position next year. What advice would you have for current PhD students?: Clarity is key. Understanding your role, your supervisor’s role and what is and is not possible within the parameters of a PhD program from the beginning will set you up for success.
