Growing up in Bargara, regional Queensland, Associate Professor Celeste Lawson lived a carefree childhood, where she did what she loved and what she found interesting. In this podcast, we learn she unconsciously followed in her father’s journalistic footsteps, but soon realised that it wasn’t for her. She shares that her desire to help people led her to become a Rockhampton-based police officer and then an employee of the Corruption and Crime Commission in Western Australia, before her career logically progressed and came full circle back to Rockhampton. We also learn that although Celeste may be studying her seventh qualification, there is no stopping her – study is her hobby and she has already got the next two courses picked out! Celeste shares with us the reason behind her bold hair and that pink isn’t actually her favourite colour. Can anyone guess what it is?
