I’m Jennifer Mathieson, a FarmWise consultant based in Canterbury.

I grew up on the West Coast and first moved to Canterbury to complete a Bachelor of Agricultural Commerce majoring in Farm Management at Lincoln University. I have a background in rural banking, fertiliser, agronomy, animal health and facilitation both on the West Coast and Canterbury.

What is my life like outside work?

I am a very family-orientated person and enjoy spending time with immediate and extended family. I have been active within the sporting community, namely Netball (playing, coaching and committees) and enjoy Rugby. I enjoy the outdoors, particularly white baiting on the West Coast.

What drives me when working with farmers?

Honesty is one of my core principles. I will always act fairly and justly. I’m a great communicator and I appreciate other people’s views and welcome constructive challenges when necessary. I find motivation in executing plans, pursuing successful outcomes and enjoy sharing any learnings.

As a Farm Wise consultant, I look forward to understanding your farm business, becoming part of your team and helping you navigate through the good times and the challenging times with the goal of always achieving the best outcome for all parties involved.
