Summary

I am a young, open-minded agricultural scientist. I come from a beef farm and since a young age have had to help out. I feel this has instilled a hard work ethic in me, one I take great pride in. I have a huge interest in agriculture in general and am keen to further my experience and knowledge within the sector.
