  • Description

    Hey there!
    I gravitate towards animals; I've worked on a range of farms, ranches and stations across New Zealand and now Canada.
    I'm always keen to learn something new as long as you're willing to teach me, love seeking out new opportunities to learn skills where I can.
    Can't get enough of nature through outdoor activities that can range from walks in local parks to overnight hikes in national parks. Can't say no to a dip in a body of water and have been fortunate enough to grow up on the island country of New Zealand, surrounded by beautiful forestries, great national walks and a vast amount of beaches!
    Down to earth and ready for my next adventure!

  • More details about your skills

    My main passion is ranch work, I've been a ranch hand on sheep stations, dairy farms and most recently on a red and black Angus stud ranch during their calving and AI season.

    Aside from work experience, I studied Agriculture in school, know my way around a cow or other livestock animal - I've used station dogs in previous work along with tractors, quads and side by sides. Capable of pulling a calf, docking, tagging, vaccinating, feeding and rotating stock. Also know how to do fence repairs, crimping etc.

    I've also dabbled in Horticulture and Viticulture through school, learned about crop rotation, soil qualities along with irrigation and drainage implications.

    Perviously studied food and beverage management along with event management in collage while also having worked in cooperate catering doing large scale events of 3,000+ people and catering for the royal family when they came to New Zealand (yes, Meghan Markle is as pretty in person).

    I also have a background in Sales along with warehouse operations and logistics.

    I love learning new skills and broadening my horizons, if there's something I haven't done before - I'm all ears and willing to understand how it works and get more knowledge under my belt!
