As a child Michaela’s dream job was to become a radio cricket commentator. As a young adult a profession in aerial skiing appealed! Who would have thought the offspring of this would be Landscape Architecture.

Prior to studying Landscape Architecture, Michaela completed a degree in Communications. Several years of public relations and project management experience followed. Throughout, Michaela’s love of the outdoors and concern for the environment grew until in 2004, amongst some raised eyebrows, she decided to return to university to undertake a Masters in Landscape Architecture. Additionally, in 2005, Michaela completed a 12 month internship as a student Landscape Architect with the Wyong Shire Council.

For Michaela, one of the most exciting aspects of studying Landscape Architecture is the scope and diversity of the profession along with the realisation that she will never stop learning … the same, she says, cannot be said for writing press releases.
