Practical Skills

During my time in the thoroughbred industry, I have developed my sense of horsemanship, veterinary knowledge and ridden ability.  I am confident in my decision making as a farm manager and have a keen attention to detail, with a particular interest in rehabilitation of injuries and improving condition and wellbeing. 

Communication Skills

I have always enjoyed communication and feel that one of my key strengths lies in expression.  I enjoy writing and employ a wide vocabulary.  I am also comfortable communicating directly with people, with experience speaking in public and presenting to a large and professional audience.  My experience as a manager has led me to employ my emotional intelligence in order to mentor and direct staff members.

Strengths

I have a creative and open-minded approach to problem solving, informed by a range of different perspectives.  Drawing on my education, I try to look at the 'bigger picture' and the ethics of consequences.  However, this balances well with my practical understanding of the industry.  As a result, I value my analytical abilities stand as a strength, allowing me to make informed decisions. 

I consider myself a very honest person and place a considerable emphasis on accountability.  I stand by my decisions and acknowledge mistakes openly, with a willingness to learn and rectify issues. 

My leadership skills and ability to work as part of a team have also proven useful.  I can take up a position of authority and responsibility,  but also feel that I can be guided by others with greater experience.  I possess a great sense of empathy, allowing me to connect well with other people and build a sense of trust in teams.
