Summary

With over 10 years of experience in the farming and green industry, I have gained extensive knowledge working with industry leaders, ranging from machinery suppliers to seed suppliers in the region. This has allowed me to develop a deep understanding of the green industry and its environmental changes. My experience as a turfgrass farmer and manager at one of the largest suppliers in the Southern Hemisphere has equipped me with the ability to work effectively with individuals from diverse age groups and cultures. Additionally, my time in the financial and insurance industry as a Financial Adviser has further expanded my knowledge and honed my skills in sales. I am eager to bring my fresh perspective and enthusiasm for learning to your organization. Choosing me for this position will not disappoint.
