Summary

I am enthusiastic about animal work because I enjoy it and grew up on a beef and sheep farm with a mix of hill fields and low-lying fields. I am hardworking, persistent and can take initiative to get things done around a farm as I am aware of how much determination and energy it takes to be successful in the farming industry, while also ensuring I keep the animals' health and well-being in high regards. Furthermore, I am passionate about animal care with a deep-rooted understanding of livestock management that I would love to expand to a more professional level.
