Isobella Nicholls is a forward-thinking individual with a strong commitment to sustainability.
Her goal is to leverage chemical engineering to create eco-friendly and sustainable materials that can replace fossil fuel plastics, meeting modern demands without harming the environment.
I like the culture at Waikato University, the classes are smaller and the lecturers really care about you. They have more time to engage one-on-one and support you with your unique perspective.
With a passion for chemistry and problem-solving, Isobella’s degree has given her experience and insights into crafting solutions that can reduce how we approach environmental challenges.
“I wouldn’t have this new way of thinking if it wasn’t for Waikato.”
Making a home within the Halls of Residence at Student Village, and forging friendships with other Engineering students, Isobella says she found a nurturing culture at Waikato.
"The lecturers were great with supporting me when health issues got in the way of study, working with me on how to get things done."
