Never be ashamed of trying. Effortlessness is a myth.<\/p>\nTaylor Swift<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Growing up in a small town on the South Coast of NSW, science felt like a whole world away. Add that to the fact that I avoided any science related subjects at all costs in high school, and it truly was just that, a whole world away. But I was a girl with a goal, and a very supportive network, and that is a powerful combination. I was fortunate enough to enrol and complete a Bachelor of Nutrition and Dietetics (Honours 1) (Deans Scholar) at the University of Wollongong in 2021 and venture straight into a Doctor of Philosophy at the University of New South Wales in 2022. Again, with an incredibly supportive network, this time my wonderful PhD supervisors, were the driving force I absolutely needed. I realise this sounds nice and easy, but my journey has not been without challenges, and if you ask me, these are the most rewarding parts of it all. From passing my chemistry bridging course, to running my first code, to interviewing my first research participant, and to presenting at my first conference \u2013 the thrill of the achievement is unmatched. My mum has always said \u201cyou never know unless you try\u201d, and as one of the most successful women in the world once said, \u201cnever be ashamed of trying.\u201d \u2013 Taylor Swift. So, give it a go, anything and everything, you might (will) surprise yourself just as I did! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
