Ingrid Valladares Gonzalez on being an international student, finding work, and figuring out a PhD

Honestly, we are so fortunate to have so many excellent HDR students completing so many challenging PhD's in QUT School of Justice. In this episode I talk to Ingrid on what it's like to move countries, study, survive, and stay passionate about research. There are some big life choices discussed here and some great discussion on working in different countries and forging a career path.
