Age: 36

Gender: Female

Nationality: Australian

Occupation: Agricultural Scientist

Bessie grew up on her family farm in rural South Australia. She learnt all there was to know growing up on a farm, from milking a cow to building a fence. This is where her interest in agricultural science first begun. After high school she made the big decision to leave the family farm to study at the University of Adelaide. During her studies she met a fellow student, who is now her husband. After the three year course, Bessie went to work for SARDI, The South Australian Research and Development Institute. She has been working with SARDI doing research for the improvement of crops since she finished university. Bessie was always dreaming of new challenges and what she could do next, so when she was approached to join the SMITE team she jumped at the chance.

Bessie has always enjoyed a challenge and new ways of pushing herself. She works well as a team and is very organised. Although her nature is on the quiet side, she has very good oral skills and is very much looking forward to what lies ahead with the mission.
