School: Tauranga Girls’ College

Tertiary: Lincoln University, Year 3, 2021

Degree: Bachelor of Agricultural Science

I started working on a Taranaki farm during the school holidays and learnt a range of jobs on the farm. I also attended DairyNZ discussion groups and courses including pasture management.

These opportunities made me realise I want a career in the dairy sector.

Reflecting on a day I spent working with a DairyNZ consulting officer, I realised a job like that - supporting people to find success in their farm business and personal goals – is the type of career I aspire to.

Studying toward a Bachelor of Agricultural Science and being actively involved in the Lincoln Young Farmers Club are the next steps in my career journey in the dairy sector.
