Welcome to my series, Bush Lanterns, highlighting women in the rural and agricultural sector! There are so many amazing and wonderful women who don’t always get recognised for what they do, and I feel it’s my job to be able to bring them to you.

“Don’t be afraid of being the only woman in the room. People judge more on ability, smarts and character, so just be yourself and prove your knowledge, and you will be able to talk to anyone.”
