Dr Nicole Kellow is an Accredited Practicing Dietitian with a strong interest in the management of diabetes. She has gained many accreditations since completing her Bachelor of Science degree in 1996, including the completion of her PhD in 2017 and being a 2018 recipient of the NHMRC Early Career Research Fellowship. She has also worked in rural and metropolitan areas in both Australia and the UK. Currently, she works as a Senior Research Fellow in the Department of Nutrition and Dietetics at Monash University. 

In this bite, Nicole brings her characteristic sense of humour and wisdom to the podcast. We discuss how the opportunity in working as a rural dietitian, how she got into full-time research and found her specialty. Nicole explains the importance of 'saying yes' to opportunities through being willing to have a conversation and ask lots of questions. Her insightful career journey is testament to the fact that opportunities can arise where you least expect - such as striking a conversation in a waiting room.
