ABOUT THE RECIPIENTS
ZOE PULS
Zoe Puls is a person who experienced her childhood on a family farm but did not see that Agriculture, particularly livestock, was her passion until after graduating high school. After completing one class for Biomedical Science, Zoe was enthusiastic to go back to their farm and work with others that enjoyed livestock as much as she did. Zoe was very grateful to enter the Agricultural Science degree which allowed her to further experience her livestock passion by training and competing in the ICMJ competition. Zoe endeavors to continue to use her passion of the livestock and agricultural industries to showcase how important these production businesses are, not only to Australia but the world.
