Madeline holds a BSc that focussed on physical geography and is completing a MSc with a thesis investigating microplastics in Antarctic soils. Madeline has worked in councils throughout New Zealand in roles that saw her monitoring landfills in one role, to sharing the wonders of moa bones and local art in another.
