WIRN Dr Veena O'Halloran

This is the second of the new series of the WIRN (Women in Research Network). Though the network was originally aimed at female colleagues, everyone is encouraged to attend this event and they are designed to cover all job families. People with mentoring roles, caring responsibilities or involved in gender equality initiatives may find the event of particular interest.

In this session we are very pleased that Dr Veena O’Halloran will be presenting. As someone who has made the transition from academia to professional services, Dr O'Halloran will be discussing both alternative careers for academics and also personal development in professional services roles. This will be followed by a Q&A session.
