Michelle Edmondson
Michelle grew up on a farm and was always interested in the agricultural
industry. She studied agricultural science, because;
"science seemed too general a course."
After completing her degree with honours, Michelle worked for the
Victorian Department of Agriculture for three years as a pasture specialist,
where she was able to increase her knowledge and skills. She now works
for Monsanto Australia Limited as a business manager.
"The direction of my career is now more business oriented,
but I still rely heavily on the technical skills I learned in my
degree."
Michelle enjoys her new job, because it has plenty of opportunities
for promotion and learning new skills.
"I am learning about the agribusiness industry and spend
my time with retailers and farmers. I enjoy working as a part of
a team who manage the South Australian business for Monsanto . It
is a challenging position, with many opportunities for expanding
my skills and knowledge. I meet a wide range of people in my job
and I am always amazed at how many of these have done an agricultural
science degree. You would be amazed by some of the jobs agricultural
science can lead you."
One of the characters of Michelle which make her so impressive to
potential employers is her passion for the agricultural industry.
"Agriculture is such an important part of the Australian economy.
There is always an interesting career in ag!"
