Teri Terrace

Teri studied at the Roseworthy Campus of the University of Adelaide, completing firstly an Associate Diploma in Agricultural Production and then a Bachelor of Applied Science (Agriculture), which she completed in 1987.

"Roseworthy was a great campus to study on and the experience I gained there has been useful throughout my subsequent career"
Teri worked for the State Department of Agriculture and then began working as a Technical Assistant at CSIRO in Adelaide on the control of soil-borne plant root diseases of wheat. Teri is now a Technical Officer based in Townsville, Queensland.
"My career has been interesting and fulfilling. I have developed a new method for assessing damage to the roots of plants by the disease Rhizoctonia. I have also undertaken independent research on the biology of terrestrial planarians, and now work on a project which aims to develop cashew nut production in Australia."
I have enjoyed the varied nature of my work, and being in CSIRO has allowed me the scope to develop professionally. None of this would have been possible without the education I received at Roseworthy.
