Meg Mavin - Best combined result in Spatial Science
About Meg
I’m an Environmental Science and Business student in my final year of study at the University of Newcastle, passionate about natural hazards, sustainability, and Human Resource Management. My academic journey has ignited a deep interest in how organisations can effectively respond to environmental challenges while supporting people and fostering long-term growth.
Growing up on the mid-north coast, I worked in my family’s business after school. However, in 2022, I relocated to Newcastle to pursue a university degree, where my passion for the environment has only intensified.
Currently, I work as an undergraduate environmental scientist at a local consulting firm that specialises in geology. This role has provided me with an excellent opportunity to apply my university degree skills, particularly GIS.
In the future hope to combine my knowledge of environmental science and business to help manage environmental risks effectively, develop forward-thinking strategies, and champion sustainable innovation across sectors.
