This episode we chat to environment and sustainability advisor, Sophia Olo-Whaanga. With a Postgraduate diploma in environmental science, she is the first grandchild from her mother\u2019s side to graduate from university. Sophia is very passionate about giving back to the community by working with her marae (Makaurau Marae, Ihum\u0101tao) and\xa0by encouraging rangatahi (younger generations) into science. We talk about how to navigate university, being indigenous in the workplace and to just do it, if you\u2019re thinking about getting into science. \nIf you have any questions you can email Sophia at\xa0sophia.olowhaanga@gmail.com or message her on instagram\xa0@kaitiaki.sophia
