MY STORY
My name is Cindy-lee, I am 22 years old from Donnybrook Western Australia
I have a passion for agriculture but with no farming background or experience i felt as if my dreams of having a career within the industry were out of my reach.
At 18 , I acquired a job as a stockwomen at Paradise Enterprises. They took a chance and provided me with an opportunity to have a career within the Beef supply chain.
I was in tears at least once a day for the first few months but with very few people given this opportunity, i dug deep and worked hard.
Drafting cattle, performing sick treatments, and assisting with loadouts was a major part of my role, but then 18 months later i fell pregnant.
I was reluctantly ready to 'hang up my boots' ; how could i do the role i was hired to do?
The support from my employers and co-workers meant as my stomach grew my role adapted so i could still have a career.
I became a mum to my beautiful little boy Clancy at 20 years old.
It has made me think about the future more and how lucky i have been to have had this opportunity.
In 2021 i became an ABC Heywire Winner which has given me the confidence and boost to launch;
