Summary

I am currently finishing up seasonal viticultural employment in McLaren Vale and seeking work that fits my capabilities and interests. I come from a 4th generation farm, giving me a wealth of knowledge across many sectors. The farming industry has provided me invaluable interpersonal skills, adaptability, and the ability to thrive in dynamic working environments. When I am not farming I am travelling, solo or in groups, internationally. These opportunities have given me a worldly perspective and a desire to get out and learn more.
