Kelly Sutherland

Student Success Advisor

I’m based in Central Otago just out of Cromwell, with my three children and husband Jason, who manages sheep & beef property, Tinwald Farm. My own pathway into farming began when I met my husband and it has since become a central part of our family’s lifestyle and values. Alongside this, I hold a Diploma in Counselling and Psychology and trained in Life Coaching which has equipped me with strong skills in communication, guidance and support.

Through my role in Growing Future Farmers, I look forward to building relationships with the farmers and the students, while guiding them as they grow their skills, strengthen their resilience and help them step confidently into the farming sector.
