Bronte Alston

Bronte is a Master of Public Health student, having completed a Bachelor of Biomedicine with a neuroscience major. Her master’s thesis is focused on emerging trends in reproductive health decision-making, such as the rise in eco-anxiety.

Her passion lies at the nexus of health equity and climate justice, with an overarching interest in decolonising health systems. Bronte’s interest in public health was initially catalysed through volunteering in Cambodia where she discovered first-hand the importance of culturally appropriate health programs and the legacy of colonisation in the form of voluntourism.

Through the Wattle Fellowship, she will lead a multidisciplinary team to apply a one health approach to assist local ethnic minority groups in Thailand.

Outside of her studies, she loves to read, hike, and watch the latest release at the cinema with a choc top in hand.
