BIO
I am part of the team at Integral Health Dairy Farm (IHDF), bringing practical experience and a keen interest in sustainable agriculture to our research work. Originally from Uruguay, I spent about 15 years in the dairy sector, working as an advisor to dairy farms and helping to facilitate dairy discussion groups. This background gave me a solid understanding of farm operations and collaborative approaches. In my role as a Casual Research Technician at IHDF, I helped significantly with the early stages of our tuna planting project. I was involved in getting the plants established and keeping them going, contributing to the planting of over 1,500 trees and shrubs on the farm. I also support the daily workings of IHDF. I assists with farm walk and managing feed allocation, and help analyze farm data to find useful insights. I enjoy lending a hand to Ella with deer sampling and lab tasks for her PhD research. I’m committed to learning more in agriculture and completing my PhD studies in the near future. I greatly enjoy contributing to the IHDF team.
