Researcher biography

WHY UQPN?

I’ve been part of UQ before as an academic researcher for over one year. Back then, I joined a few networks and groups but couldn’t see the impact I was looking for. Now, as a professional, in less than three months back at UQ, I’ve seen and felt the impact UQPN has and decided I wanted to join and contribute with the continuous success of this great network. The conference was a game changer where not only I left with extra knowledge but with extra contacts to grow my career and the University mission.
