Summary
Having grown up in country WA, I have always had an interest in all thing related to Agriculture. After attending Santa Maria boarding school in Perth, I returned home to explore this interest and further develop my experience and skills. Being a hardworking and dedicated person, I began working as a Grain Sampler and Weighbridge Officer at CBH Grain Receival Point. While here, I also worked on our sheep and cropping farm learning hands on skills and problem solving strategies. I studied at RuralBiz Training where I completed a Diploma of Agriculture. I then worked at Williams Rural Supplies where I used my customer service abilities and initiated safety protocols to benefit the company for 5 years. In this role, I continued to develop my skills, particularly my ability to work independently, as a team and under pressure.
I am a detail-oriented team player with strong organizational skills. I hold the ability to handle multiple projects at once while bringing commitment, quality communication and passion for work to a business.
