Growing up on a small tenanted dairy, beef and sheep farm in North Yorkshire, Louise’s passion for agriculture began at a young age. Keen to gain as much hands-on experience as possible, Louise has worked on a range of dairy, beef and sheep farms, developing a broad understanding of the livestock production sector.

Louise is currently studying Agriculture with Farm Business Management with Placement Year at Newcastle University. Committed to lifelong learning and professional development, Louise continues to seek opportunities to expand her knowledge and experience. This has included undertaking a placement year at The Lakes Free Range Egg Company as part of the McDonald’s Progressive Young Farmer Programme, volunteering in Fiji, working as a Research Interviewer on the Hort2theFuture project, and preparing to travel to Ghana with NFYFC Travel.
