An Ulster University graduate, who faced the triple challenges of cancer, Covid-19 and menopause during her studies, has expressed her "hope" as she receives her PhD, attributing her success to the support from her family, friends and university supervisors.
Despite her diagnosis, which followed a battle with Covid-19 and led to an early onset of menopause in her mid-twenties, the committed student persevered with her research. "The last few years have shaped me to be a well-rounded person, and Ulster University has provided me with the key ingredients for that as I went through treatment, had two major operations, and entered the menopause in my twenties."
The first to be awarded a studentship by the charity, which involved a one-year Masters in Research before a three-year PhD, Sarah was no stranger to the University, having studied Human Nutrition for three-years at Ulster University Coleraine. As she steps into the future, Sarah plans to continue her advocacy and research in health and wellbeing. She's set to embark on a five-year post-doctorate at Trinity College Dublin, where she'll be researching and collaborating with hospitals on issues close to her heart, including women's health, menopause, physical activity, and nutrition.
