Growing up in Sydney, my love for agriculture came from studying it through high school. Being fortunate enough to have studied agriculture from year 9 – year 12 at Pymble Ladies’ College, my passion to become involved and work in the industry grew, particularly in evolving technology and sustainability issues. It was not until my Agriculture teacher inspired me to challenge myself that I decided to combine a Bachelor of Agriculture with a Bachelor of Laws.
I am currently in my 4th year of my double degree at the University of New England, studying on campus. I have loved being exposed to a variety of industries and working alongside like-minded peers and industry professionals to understand the fundamentals of agriculture and ways we may be able to address arising issues and challenges within the industry, both domestic and international.
After I finish my degree, I hope to complete my Practical Legal training and become an accredited solicitor, working then alongside industry professionals and farmers with a specific perspective on rural and agricultural issues. I am so incredibly grateful to have been awarded the AgriFutures Horizon scholarship and look forward to working with my sponsor AgriFutures. I am eager to broaden my understanding in a variety of issues but am particularly excited to further understand sustainable technologies and practices such as carbon farming and solar farms.
