Summary
Strong work ethic with proactive approach to learning new skills and growing my experience in the Agricultural environment. Carry a passion for regenerative and new ideas in the farming industry. I have had sufficient experience working with teams, working in a stock crew of 8 at Escott station in far north Queensland and being part of several committees in the college environment including running the rugby club with a committee. I have focused my studies on financial management in Agribusiness and am looking forward to transition into a field where the problem solving and skills are valued and exercised. My background in the Agricultural industry growing up on a farm near Goondiwindi and hands on farm work makes me knowledgable in the field.
