With a lifelong involvement in agriculture, particularly in the dairy farming sector, I bring over a decade of hands-on experience and expertise to the table. Growing up on a rural farm in Ireland instilled in me a deep-rooted passion for farming, which has only intensified over the years.

My journey in agriculture has taken me across borders and continents, from milking cows in the lush pastures of New Zealand to fine-tuning rationing techniques in the rolling hills of South West Scotland. Alongside practical experience, I pursued a degree in Agricultural Management from RAU, arming myself with the necessary skills and knowledge to support farmers in optimizing their operations.

Specialising in ruminant nutrition, financial and business planning, animal health and welfare, carbon footprints, and navigating grants and schemes, I bring a comprehensive skill set to the table. Holding accreditations as a fully qualified feed advisor (FAR 1529), RoMS accredited (mobility scoring), and a mastitis control plan deliverer, This has equipped me with the skills to tackle even the most complex challenges facing modern farmers.

Having been fortunate enough to blend work and studies, I’ve seized every opportunity to travel and delve deeper into the world of agriculture. This diverse exposure has enriched my understanding and enabled me to provide tailored recommendations to farmers, helping them enhance their businesses and drive value.

Beyond the fields and consultancy work, I cherish spending quality time with my loved ones, exploring new destinations, and immersing myself in the great outdoors. Committed to a balanced lifestyle, I believe that personal fulfilment complements professional success.
