I grew up on a small hobby farm in Gidgegannup, WA, where I was surrounded by an agricultural community, but it was when I attended the WA college of Agriculture Cunderdin that my passion for the industry flourished.
On completion of year 12, I knew that I wanted to further my interest, which lead me to begin a Bachelor of Agricultural Science, Majoring in Crop and Pasture and Animal Science at Murdoch University. I am particularly interested in integrated crop management and the relationship between cropping and livestock sectors in building a sustainable production system.
In the future, I hope to be working as an agronomist where I can encourage and assist WA producers to adopt sustainable practises to optimise their grain and pasture production.
I am extremely grateful to AgriFutures and Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC) for providing me this amazing opportunity to collaborate with industry professionals, gain valuable knowledge and hands on experience through placements.
I look forward to what the next two years of this scholarship brings!
