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!"
