JAMIE NYKIEL

Growing up on the beaches of the Gold Coast, Jamie’s childhood dream was to be a vet. Despite the 23 year-old’s father wanting her to be a violinist, she moved across the country to Perth to pursue her dream, studying Animal Science and Animal Health at Murdoch University. Here she unexpectedly fell in love with the agricultural industry, in particular sheep. She slowly immersed myself in the industry, but things really changed when she won the LambEx Young Guns competition in 2018.

Since then, she has been abroad and interstate thanks to agriculture. Soon to be moving to Canberra to work for the Department of Agriculture, she’s thrilled to be continuing to explore the industry and help bridge the gap between city and country.
