Last week, I was asked to write a blog entry before I left the Improve Group. After three years, this is not an easy thing to do. During my time here, I have learned a tremendous amount about the importance of planning, research and evaluation. On a more personal note, I have also learned so much from my colleagues at the Improve Group. Each and every one has made an impact in my life in some way. They have supported me through challenging times and shared in the joy of my successes. I will most definitely carry the strength and experience I have gained from working at the Improve Group with me into my work with the Department of Health and the next stages of my career. I look forward to working in obesity prevention as this is the field that I love, but I am also sad to leave this great firm. I want to thank my colleagues for a great three years and wish the Improve Group the very best! I will miss everyone!
