My interests mostly consist of those that involve the outdoors I am a passionate equestrian and particularly enjoy showjumping, which is my main discipline I also enjoy running, hiking, and spending time with friends and family I also am involved in the Lincoln Young Farmers Club, which I have thoroughly enjoyed being part of as I get to collaborate with other like-minded people

Summary
I am a third-year Bachelor of Land and Property Management student at Lincoln University, Majoring in Rural Valuation and Specializing in Primary Production. I am passionate about the rural property sector and how different attributes of land translate into a property value. I have experience in the rural sector, and with that I also have strong academic results which demonstrate my deep-rooted knowledge of rural property. I am seeking a scholarship to help me with entry into the rural valuation industry, which will help me build a strong foundation for my long-term career as a Registered Valuer.
