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.
