In the early years of working with Dr Crawford, I expressed my interest to pursue a career in research and to complete a PhD. Dr Crawford was fully supportive of this and continually offered valuable advice on the best way to achieve this goal. Dr Crawford offered guidance on applications for both the academic program and funding opportunities, which I feel I would not have successfully accomplished without Dr Crawford’s expertise, support and encouragement.
During the time I have had the pleasure of working with Dr Crawford, he has provided me with multiple opportunities to grow and expand my research skills and experience. I feel I have been well supported and guided by Dr Crawford’s expertise while also having the freedom to explore my own research interests and ideas. Dr Crawford has always been reliable, dependable and consistent with meetings resulting in continued and steady progress of my PhD. In recent months, Dr Crawford has guided me through the process of publishing multiple Journal articles. His expertise on the submission and review process was invaluable and lead to the articles being published in reputable journals and has provided me with the skills necessary for future successful publications. Dr Crawford is supportive, knowledgeable and is always keen to offer guidance when needed while also promoting independence.
