About

Ashleigh joined the team in February 2022 after graduating from Lincoln University with a Bachelor of Agricultural Science (Hons), double majoring in Environmental Management. She grew up in Manawatu and has worked on a variety of farms from a young age.

Ashleigh is a proud advocate for the primary industries. For her Honours dissertation, she studied how environmental regulations affect farmer land-use change decisions in the Selwyn District.

“In today’s world, farmers are facing a more challenging space to farm than ever before, but with this comes opportunity and promise for the future. I am particularly passionate about helping to provide pathways for increased farmer buy-in by better understanding the interaction between farmers and regulation, thereby improving environmental outcomes while maintaining farmer passion and farm profitability.”

Outside of The AgriBusiness Group, Ashleigh has a love for the outdoors and can often be found hunting, skiing, horse riding, or mountain biking.
