Professionally, Lee is a science and sustainability presenter and edu-tainer best known for hosting Network 10 kids’ science TV show Scope (2016-2020).

Growing up on her family’s sheep farm in rural New South Wales during severe drought inspired Lee to pursue her interest in science, climate and the environment in a Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Science (Honours). While studying a Masters of Science Communication they toured remote and regional Australia in the Questacon Science Circus, hosted a radio show on 2XXFM and SYN Nation, and founded Co-Lab: Science Meets Street Art.
