- Health & Fitness
This week we sit down with Dr. Jenny Kennedy. Jenny is an Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care Unit Senior House Officer at St. Vincent's University Hospital. We were introduced to Jenny by Dr. Shyam Gollapalli from Episode 2! Jenny graduated as Head Girl and Valedictorian of Muckross Park College Class of 2014. It seems as though she has only gone from strength to strength since then but not without challenge and adversity.
We discuss how her Transition Year Work Experience nearly put her off studying Medicine. Dr. Kennedy breaks down her time at college and the reality of becoming qualified in this field. Jenny speaks about how she even toyed with the idea of dropping out before she broke through an inflexion point.
Jenny has an exemplary CV. We discuss how she has had to develop in terms of her Leadership skills and how she has adapted to her current team dynamic. We also discuss Organisation as a key attribute to coping and thriving in both High Stress and High Performance Environments. Dr. Kennedy also breaks down what she does on a daily basis and how mistakes and failure play a role in the life or death situations she faces.
We also chat about life outside the Hospital and what the future holds for this young healthcare professional!
