I graduated in 2002 from Nottingham University with a first-class honours degree in Agriculture. I completed both the BASIS Certificate in Crop Protection and FACTS course in 2007, receiving a nomination for the Barry Orme Shield, an award for outstanding achievement. 

In 2011, I was one of the first UK agronomists to achieve the BASIS Diploma in Agronomy.  

Since 2008, I have been teaching on the BASIS courses at Lincoln University, Moulton College, Northamptonshire and for private companies in the East Midlands. I am our own farm’s agronomist and I provide a bespoke range of agronomy and farm management services to other local farms, adapted to suit their individual needs.
