Summary

I am fortunate to have gained essential agricultural skills at Otiwhiti School of Agriculture. I feel that it has prepared me for full-time station life. In passing my Level 3 in Agriculture, it has helped set me up and guided me to be the best of my abilities as a young shepherd starting out. With my experience working in various locations in NZ, I have the ability to work well within a team environment and adapt to different situations. I cannot wait to secure a position in which I can grow within the agricultural sector.
