Confident with driving tractors, scraping out, telehandler, TMR and straw chopper.

I was previously the Head Shepherdess at Hartpury College in Gloucestershire. Prior to this I have spent the last 4 seasons as a freelance lambing shepherd for various farmers. At Hartpury I was required to work across all enterprises so in addition to my sheep experience I have also gained basic experience in milking, beef, calving and young stock rearing both in dairy and veal calves. Successfully reared hundreds of pet lambs, very observant individual resulting in very few losses of hungry or hypothermic lambs.

None.

I was awarded the Top Rural Land Management Student Cup in 2015 and the Berkeley Hunt Agricultural Cup for the Top Final Year Agriculture Student in 2016.

I currently live with my partner but we do not have any children.

Prior to beginning my degree I was from a non-farming background but had obtained basic livestock experience and knowledge through my teenage years. I took every opportunity to learn as much as I could from anybody willing to teach me and was asked by the Head Shepherd at university to assist him with lambing. Following this I was offered a placement on a local farm where I completed 500 hours work experience on a commercial and pedigree Charolais flock during lambing, weaning, finishing and taking to market. After completing that placement I was asked to work on a paid basis during lambing seasons before being offered the role as Head Shepherd at Hartpury College.

I enjoy walking the dogs and keeping active.
