Kate Scott

My name is Kate Scott and my role at CRC for National Plant Biosecurity is Communications Manager.

I am originally from Melbourne and the thing I miss the most is the Greek fish and chip shops!

Living in Brisbane is a long way from the Canberra office but has a fabulous lifestyle, weather and not as many politicians!

My favourite or ideal holiday destination is almost anywhere in the world because travelling and experiencing other cultures is such an amazing past time.

In my spare time, I enjoy travelling, distance running and supporting the viticulture industry.

My favourite movie is Braveheart because there are men running around the Scottish highlands in kilts!

At the moment I am reading Wild Fire by Nelson De Mille.

If money was no option, I would travel a lot more and also try to save the animals that are having their environments destroyed by the actions of humans – especially the polar bears, pandas and tigers. Unfortunately they are silent sufferers with no voice to speak out.

A quality I would most like to be remembered for is being a fun person to be around.
