Biography

Associate Professor Krebs completed a BAppSc (Rural Technology - Hon) at Queensland Agricultural College before undertaking PhD research through the University of New England, investigating interchange between microbial pools within the rumen.

On meeting PhD requirements, Associate Professor Krebs was appointed Lecturer in the Department of Agriculture at Papua New Guinea University of Technology. Whilst there she was involved in teaching, but was also nutrition consultant to South Pacific Brewery Ltd, (PNG) and Associated Mills, Ltd. Lae (PNG) and was Chair of the Organising Committee for the Inaugural Conference of the PNG Society of Animal Production, 20-23 June 1988.

Associate Professor Krebs returned to Australia in 1989 and was employed as Husbandry Officer (Division II), Sheep and Wool Branch, Queensland Department of Primary Industries until she took up a position first as Lecturer, then Senior Lecturer with Curtin University of Technology.

In 2008 Associate Professor Krebs joined CSU as Senior Lecturer in the School of Animal and Veterinary Sciences.
