I have been working in DairyNZ as a quantitative geneticist for two years now, following on from the completion of Masters degrees in Animal Breeding and Genetics at Wageningen University, The Netherlands, and the Norwegian University of Life Sciences, via the European Masters in Animal Breeding and Genetics (EMABG) program. Prior to that I worked as an analyst in ruminant nutrition at Lincoln University, NZ. My BSc was obtained at the University of Canterbury, NZ, with a double-major in Mathematics and Biology.
