Promoting sustainability has always been a priority for Michela. A budding environmentalist in primary school, she extended her reach at high school, starting a sustainability group and designing a recycling education program for all commencing students. She was also a regular volunteer with the Youth Environment Council and Adelaide Youth At The Zoo, working on conservation projects. Attracted to field work and research, Michela worked alongside University of Newcastle researchers in the Earth Watch Vanishing Frogs student challenge in 2018. Studying a Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Mathematics will further her ability to turn her passions into a career.
