About Me

Just a small-town country girl from a farming background. I love being around cattle because they make me happy! I have been involved with cattle since I could walk, from going to cattle sales to exhibiting Murray Grey's with our family stud. I've worked in the dairy and beef industry, experiencing breeding my own cattle on the family farm, milking a dairy herd, being part of an auctioneer team in sales, working in the red meat processing industry and having my own herd of Angus X and Charolais X cows and calves.
In my spare time, I like to play sports, hang out with friends and family, ride my horse around the farm with all the cows, attend and be involved in local agricultural shows and cattle sales, and often like to enjoy a steak at the pub! 

I am 22 years old and currently employed as a livestock handler at the Casino Food Co-Op, where I receive and prepare animals for processing. I recently accepted a new position with the Department of Primary Industries as a Cattle Tick inspector. I will be treating and inspecting cattle and assisting farmers in protecting their stock from the deadly parasite. I am really looking forward to my new role in the ag sector. 

 I've chosen to represent the Brangus breed for this year's festival as I have always been a big fan of this breed, which presents beautifully at shows and also has many benefits to improve herds to create top-notch beef quality.

I am lucky enough to be supported by my co-sponsor, OUR COW, a relatively young company that supplies quality grass-fed beef around the country. 

In entering this Queen program, I hope to mix with the community, gain new experiences, meet many new faces, and enjoy all of the Beef Week activities that are on the agenda.
