Newcastle, NSW

Bachelor of Science (Advanced)

Anna hopes to combine her love of nature and science in her future career as a science communicator. She’s an active school and community leader, with a passion for fostering the curiosity and creativity of young minds. Anna volunteers at the Newcastle Art Gallery and helps to promote science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) in schools.
