• Contributing to the team by sharing knowledge and insights, participating in team projects, and collaborating with colleagues on various initiatives.
• Engaging with external professional networks, such as technical institutes, dairy schools, or broader dairy industry organizations, to build connections and stay informed of industry developments.

To succeed, you must hold:
