Summary

With regards to an agricultural setting, I have a general level of knowledge and experience of farming processes from the grain variety research techniques (achieved through my studies at the University of Western Australia), through the farming practices required to cultivate livestock and crops, to the loading of grain ships at CBH, where grain is sent to its final destination.

I have a deep interest in Agriculture as a whole and am excited to further my experience in the field in a variety of different workplaces. I enjoy working outdoors with others and take great pride in the quality of my work, which I complete n a safe and time efficient manner. I also enjoy problem solving and take great satisfaction in a job well done. My family come from an agricultural background and I have from a young age been taught the importance of teamwork as well as safety while working. I believe that I am enthusiastic and bring a positive attitude to any working environment, as I am very keen to expand my knowledge and gain new experience wherever I can.
