Speedy has a Bachelor of Agricultural Science (Honours) from Lincoln University and isn't afraid of a challenge.
She spent five years shepherding in the South Island high country, before travelling overseas in 2016.
"I cycled 4000 kilometres around Europe with a friend. I had no training. I just got off the plane and bought the first second hand bike I liked the look of," she said.
"We then flew to Tanzania and climbed Mount Kilimanjaro and did a brief stint teaching in schools."

Green also enjoys scaling new heights. He's training to be a pilot and is halfway through getting his private licence to fly a small fixed-wing plane.
"I'm really looking forward to the regional final, especially beating Alice. It should be a bit of a laugh," he said.
Green grew up on a sheep and beef farm near Kaikoura and has a Diploma in Farm Management from Lincoln University.
The Puketoi Young Farmers member works part-time at a nearby station.
He's previously competed in the semi-finals of the national dog trials and spent four months working on a hunting estate in the Scottish highlands in 2016.
"It was a pretty cool experience. I'd take wealthy English and Europeans around the estate hunting red deer stags," he said.

The couple will go up against six other contestants in the East Coast regional final in Dannevirke on April 13th.
They are Ashley Greer, Chris O'Leary, Hamish Hammond, Henry Smith, Joseph Watts and Rob Barry.
Contestants will tackle a series of gruelling practical and theoretical modules at Pukemiro Station.
