Janet de Beer – Food Technologist<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With maths teachers for parents, I grew up thinking maths was fun!  At school, I took maths, science and language subjects. But as I loathed writing anything where I was faced with a blank piece of paper and had to make something up (such as this blurb!), I followed the maths\/science path. Problem solving always really appealed to me. I can still hear my mum\u2019s voice saying \u201cDoes that answer make sense?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was tossing up between studying Engineering while living at home in Auckland, or a Bachelor of Technology (Food Tech) at Massey University, Palmerston North, where my sister was studying and having a great time. So, of course I chose Food Technology \u2013 There would always be jobs \u2013 Everyone has to eat!! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u200bMy passion is for solving technical challenges using strong analytical skills.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
