Summary

I am a 19-year-old country girl who loves the land, stock, people, and working amongst it all. I have experience with detail-oriented farm work, with strong livestock handling and machinery operation skills. Committed to safety compliance and workflow efficiency, contributing to successful harvests and everyday station work from musters to maintenance on fences and buildings. I can't wait to work in various territories and countries, getting to learn and experience the different ways of handling and working with stock; it really fascinates me, and physical work is all I have known growing up. I really enjoy working and traveling around, learning new things, and taking on once-in-a-lifetime experiences. I enjoy working in a team and have great communication skills, as I have worked with multiple people of all ages, and levels of experience. Although I have worked in a lot of team environments, I am confident in doing things by myself, and I am an honest worker. I grew up on a livestock and mixed farming property, engaging in all aspects, from sheep and cattle to cropping. My first year out of school (2025), I traveled to Far North Queensland to work on a station that ran large numbers of Angus-cross Brahman cattle. I am confident in handling all kinds of stock, and I thoroughly enjoy completing tasks on horseback and motorbikes, which I have ridden from a young age. Thank you for reading my resume and I would really enjoy the opportunity to work and travel in Canada before I come home to Australia to further my studies.
