Summary
I am pursuing a career in agriculture with a focus on soil science and farm management. My studies have deepened my understanding of soil health, land management, and sustainability. I am particularly passionate about soil improvement. I aim to apply my practical experience, strong mechanical background, and agricultural training towards working in soil health management, agronomy, or sustainable farm systems.
I also maintain a great interest across all topical areas undertaken and I genuinely seek a career pathway to develop and expand my skills towards an enterprise or business structure aligned to the Agricultural Industries.
