Past Students - 2017

​Emma Steele | Masters Scholar

​I completed my Masters of Public Health at the University of Melbourne, majoring in sexual and reproductive health and epidemiology. My other main interests are women's health and health program evaluation. With a background in medical imaging, I worked as a MRI Supervisor at The Royal Women's Hospital while completing my Master’s Degree.

​My project, 'EndoNeeds', explored the unmet clinical and psychosocial needs of women with endometriosis through the development and administration of an online survey. It is hoped that the results of the survey will be used to direct future research and interventions in this area.

Sherine Sandhu | Honours Scholar
​
​I completed my Honours year under the supervision of Dr Peate and Dr Hucker. My project explored the unmet needs of women who are considering egg freezing for non-medical reasons, as well as the development of a decision-aid to help women decide if egg freezing is right for them.

My experience was both challenging and enjoyable. I was lucky enough to work with such a passionate and supportive team who helped me develop my knowledge and research skills within this area. ​

Janelle Leong | Honours Scholar

​I was privileged to complete my Honours year (Bachelor of Biomedicine), under the supervision of Dr. Michelle Peate and Dr. Jennifer Marino. My project explored the Unmet needs of women living with ovarian cancer after first-line treatment. This project unveiled needs not captured by current needs tools, and a potential development in this area of research.

It was an arduous but extremely fruitful and rewarding journey. The tremendous support from my supervisors was invaluable. I plan to continue my studies by completing a post-graduate (Doctor of Medicine) at Flinder's University. I hope to contribute to this area of research in the future.
