Biography

I grew up in Holbrook, NSW on my family’s mixed farm and completed a Bachelor of Agriculture at The University of Melbourne. Since graduating, I have gained experience within a broad range of agricultural sectors, including sheep and pig production, mixed farming operations, plant pathology and horse management.

I completed a PhD in Veterinary Science from Charles Sturt University in 2021, in which I investigated the population structure of the small ruminant parasite, Haemonchus contortus in NSW.

Currently I am involved in the development and management of the “Empowering Generation Z” project – a Future Drought Fund initiative which aims to provide students with hands on experience in drought resilient farming systems.
