Eden Burns grew up in Kununurra in Western Australia’s Kimberley region, where exposure to the northern cattle industry and regional communities shaped a strong interest in animal health. Now studying veterinary science, Eden is passionate about strengthening veterinary services in remote Australia. Areas of interest include disease surveillance, biosecurity and preventative herd health. Eden is committed to improving livestock welfare while supporting industry productivity.
