Melanie McKenzie

An electrical engineer in a previous life, I was delighted to trade in my soldering iron and propeller beanie for a corner in the back of the Econnect office. My love-hate relationship with university has led to two undergraduate degrees (one in physics, one in engineering) , and a postgraduate diploma in science communication. I aspire to do a PhD before the addiction wanes.

I'm always eager for a challenge and, equipped with my Mac ('Frangipani'), my technical skills, research experience, and flexibility have, I'm told, become assets to the Econnect team.

After finishing university in Canada, I took up knitting to prove my domestic capability. The sub-tropics of Brisbane make labouring over woolly jumpers less than enticing, so I'm thinking about finding a new hobby or knitting bikinis instead.
