Summary
I am graduating from The University of Sydney with a degree in Bachelor of Science/Bachelor of Advanced Studies majoring in Animal and Veterinary Bioscience and Animal, Health, Disease and Welfare. I have just finished my honours year where I researched the effects of heat stress on dairy cattle production.
I am excited to be finishing my university degree and to apply the skills and knowledge I have learnt in a professional setting. I would like to continue developing my knowledge in dairy as it is where my passion lies. I am a reliable, hardworking and friendly person who would like to develop new skills and am committed to work to the best of my ability.
