Tara Berthold
Maitland, NSW
Bachelor of Environmental Science and Management
From watching proboscis monkeys in the jungles of Borneo to tracking elephants in the plains of Kenya, Tara’s passion for environmental sustainability and biodiversity conservation has led her all over the world. Tara hopes to use her Bachelor of Environmental Science and Management to make a difference in conservation – finding solutions that balance economic, environmental and social concerns. Tara volunteers weekly with Emeritus Professor Tim Roberts in the School of Environmental and Life Sciences where she assists with various projects – including the annual electric vehicle festival and mined lands conference – to share knowledge and improve future practice. As an amateur boxer, Tara also teaches self-defence and is a powerful voice for equity, justice and gender equality.
