As a 6th generation sheep and grain producer based on the Adelaide Plains, I am passionate about pairing my knowledge and experience in primary production with my technical skills in business strategy and project management to effectively engage with stakeholders across the Ag value chain.

Having held roles in FMCG, higher education and agribusiness as well as sitting on various industry committees and board, I have led business initiatives across a diverse range of industries and have the ability to combine creativity with skills in stakeholder management and project delivery.

My role with Adelaide University is focused on strengthening our partnered approach to primary industries research – supporting strategy and engagement across agriculture, food and beverage, fisheries and forestry in line with Adelaide University’s Food, Agriculture and Wine Signature Research Theme (FAW SRT). I work closely with the College of Science, the Schools of Agriculture, Food and Wine and Animal and Veterinary Sciences, the Waite Research Institute and with Professor Michael Goodsite in his role as the Convenor of the FAW SRT.
