Experience Summary

 

With a diverse professional background, I have successfully transitioned from working in NGOs and as a Senior Educational Counselor to a career in dairy farming, bringing a unique blend of technical, managerial, and problem-solving skills. Over the past two years, I have gained extensive experience in herd management, farm technology systems (MINDA, EIDs, cow collars), calving, mating, and overall farm operations. My strong communication and data management skills, developed through years in the education and nonprofit sectors, allow me to efficiently handle record-keeping, herd health monitoring, and farm workflow optimization. Passionate about modern dairy farming, I am eager to apply my expertise to improve productivity and contribute to a progressive farm environment.
