Bettina Anderson

aka: chief swamp hen, the ‘geek streak' and word wench

qualifications: M.Sc(Hons) and small block farmer

As an environmental scientist who was far more interested in talking about than doing science, Bettina side-stepped into the science communication world 8 years ago and never looked back. With an over-imaginative mind prone to getting her into trouble, she now knows enough science to keep her out of trouble!

Bettina's specialist skill-set and desire to move to freelancing inspired PūkekoBlue Science Communication back in 2004. She's an experienced wordsmith, museum interpreter and project manager - someone who knits stories, people and projects together for superb results.
