From a young age, I had a passion for plants and animals, this led me to study a Bachelor of Agricultural Science majoring in Agriculture at Massey University where I learnt about the agriculture industry, the study also introduced me to the ways that I enjoy learning.
While working I have continued to study through Primary ITO, where I am currently doing level five production management. Recently, I have also finished the human resource management module through the agribusiness diploma at Wintec, which I will continue later.
I choose dairy farming as a career because I like to be hands-on, and the job shows some technicality which I enjoy because it requires the use of problem-solving skills.

Dairy farming also has a bit of everything so you never get bored, plus there's always something you can learn to better yourself, which I'm always doing.
