2026 Rural Ambassador

Rural Ambassador – Jazmin O’Leary

Jazmin is currently studying a Bachelor of Agricultural Technology at the University of Southern Queensland, where she is also the Vice President of the Inter Collegiate Meat Judging Team. Her passion for agriculture has been shaped through hands-on experience working on a large cattle station in North Queensland, where she gained valuable skills in mustering, cattle handling and station operations.

Beyond the yards and classrooms, Jazmin has a deep passion for advocating for rural communities and education for regional children. Her time working as a governess on a remote cattle station opened her eyes to the challenges faced by rural students and inspired her commitment to ensuring young people in the bush have access to opportunity.

Agricultural Shows play an important role in connecting communities to the industry that feeds and clothes the nation, and Jazmin is passionate about helping tell that story. She hopes the Rural Ambassador program will help her further develop skills in leadership, public speaking and industry engagement, while proudly representing agriculture and regional communities.
