In five years, I hope to continue publishing in reputable journals, progressing my career further and hopefully attain an associate professorship, while contributing to the conversation that bridges the gap between academia and practice. This is in an endeavour to make organisations environmentally friendly and the world a better place, perhaps on a closer path to professorship and sitting on the boards of some journals and conferences.

For those considering PhD study I would recommend you be realistic. Know what you are signing up for in detail and ask all the questions beforehand. Do your research about your research topic beforehand.
