Elysa Ioannou
Writing her PhD on lifestyle interventions
What would I say to people thinking about volunteering? Just do it. It’s totally flexible and rewarding to feel like you’re making a difference.
Not only has Elysa found her passion through diabetes research, but she spends her spare time volunteering - teaching others about the important topic of gestational diabetes.
