Tuckwell Talks - Reverse Podcast! Michelle Barrett

In our final podcast episode for the year, we go back to where it began! When we launched our podcast in April, our Head of Scholars House sat down with 2021 Scholar Chris Jackson. Now we find Chris, on the other side of the mic! Chris Jackson (2021) speaks with Head of Scholars House – Associate Professor Michelle Barrett. Michelle is originally from Adelaide and studied medicine under an ADF Scholarship, with 4 years of mandatory service, plus another 2 years which took her to Rwanda. They discuss her GP practice, hiring and firing, the horrors of war, leadership roles, and her first meeting with Graham and Louise. They also reflect on her first year as Head of Scholars House, a memorable exchange to Scotland, and there is mention of an infamous soccer team with a great moniker! Trigger warning: There is a brief, detailed discussion on war injuries. Thank you for listening and stay tuned for new episodes in the new year!
