BIO
My name is Jenna, and I am currently in my fourth year of a Bachelor of Agricultural Science at Lincoln University, where I have had the privilege of completing my final year with honours. I was raised on a small dry stock farm on the West Coast of the South Island, where my parents also operate a home kill butchery. Growing up, I developed a strong passion for agriculture—whether helping my dad on the farm or taking an early interest in the butchery. During my time at Lincoln, I tailored my studies toward animal and plant sciences, aligning with my interests and background. This led me to an honours project under the supervision of Professor Pablo Gregorini and Dr Sagara Kumara, focusing on lamb for human health—a project I was excited to be part of. After completing my degree, I hope to return to the West Coast and apply the knowledge and experience I’ve gained over the past four years to support and improve the agricultural sector in my home region.
