Overview

I am a graduate of University of Guelph in Guelph Ontario, where she graduated with a BSc in Agriculture majoring in Animal Science. After that I gained 2 years of experience working on a beef seedstock farm as farm hand, performing several of farming tasks involving both the livestock health and cropping systems developing the skills and knowledge. In addition, I obtained my graduate diploma in Agribusiness Management at Fanshawe College in London Ontario, where a variety of different agri-business aspects were outlined, such as occupational health and safety, human resources management, managerial accounting, and agricultural finance. I am looking to start a career in the beef industry but am fairly open to listen to different ideas and options that are available.
