Hobbies

Young Farmers - I joined Essex young farmers 5 years ago as a member of my local club Southminster. I have taken on a number of committee positions during this time to help run the club. As programme secretary in my second year, and activity rep, and club secretary for 2 years before leaving for university. I have made so many great friendships through young farmers and have done so many interesting things through club and countywide events. Netball - Netball is a big part of my life. I currently play for multiple teams locally, and with one of these teams in the regional league.

Farming background

Farm (Current employment) - After finishing University this year I returned to the home farm for harvest and cultivations. In addition to my usual work this year I was also on the baler. Since the last week of September I have also been working on our Vineyard for grape harvest, this year taking on a leadership role within the picking team as my mother has taken a step back from this.

Farm in Cambridge (July-September 2021) - Over University summer break I was a harvest student at Yole farm, a family owned farm who also contract farm. My main roles were grain carting (including carting into Camgrain grainstores) and primary cultivations across the 2000 acres managed by the business, as well as general farm work. This was the largest farm I've worked on and I really enjoyed the challenge.

_____ Farm (June-September 2020) - To gain more tractor experience I spent 2020 harvest working on our arable enterprise. My main role was corn carting and primary cultivations on the 600 acres we were farming. I worked weekends and long hours to get the job done and was happy to do any tidying of sheds and manual labour needed on rainy or quieter days.

_________ Farm Dairy (November-June 2019-20) - I worked flexibly within a small team in the processing and production of a variety of dairy products. I was often given a list of jobs to complete and was left to get them done on my own, and I would never leave a job incomplete, even if it meant staying past the end of my workday.

I would often stay on for late shifts pasteurising when asked, and worked weekend farmers markets in London when needed, which meant early starts and long days.

_______ Vineyard (September-November 2019) - I completed 8 weeks of work at ________Vineyard, working in their winery, assisting in the wine making process during grape harvest. This work includes loading and cleaning presses and wine tanks, analysing grape samples, and helping with inoculating wine. I have enjoyed working in the busy harvest environment, maintaining a high standard of cleanliness. This job has reinforced the importance of attention to detail, and being methodical and thorough.

_____ _____ (June-September 2019) - Over 2019 harvest I worked at _____ _____in the Weighbridge and Lab. My excellent communication skills enabled me to quickly fit in and build good relationships with farmers and hauliers. I carried out analysis on all combinable crops from intake and farm samples. This required me to run a series of laboratory tests and maintain accurate records in-order to grade grains.

_____ _____ Organics (2017-19) After GCSEs I took a job on a local vegetable farm for the summer. My work there taught me a range of skills, from planting and crop maintenance, to harvesting and packing. I returned there in school breaks, and took more of a leadership role, training new staff and managing the operations in the pack room.
