Determined

Organised

Busy

 

I’m at university to create a better future for my family and myself. Life is very busy for me, I’m having to fit study around a busy schedule. I was nervous about doing a PhD but now I'm into it, I’m enjoying learning.  

Technology and internet

Communications preferences: Email. (would MyVic or BB be relevant to a PhD student? What about Victoria Facebook pages?)

Technology: Standard android phone. Has a laptop and sometimes uses the Vic WIFI, mainly to do research while she's on campus.

 

Tertiary education and career goals

Has completed one year of a PhD in Nursing. Has a masters degree but believes her career prospects will be much better if she has a PhD - in fact, it may eventually become a requirement.

Driven to complete her thesis well and get a better career from that.
