Tiffany Scott was tipped to take up a career in marine biology. However, the young Cayman Bracker noticed there wasn't a need for someone in that field, because, while Grand Cayman has two dolphin parks, they were just in their infancy, so she enrolled in university.
Tiffany attended Middle Tennessee State University, and graduated with a bachelor of science degree in animal sciences.
The 23-year-old is now employed by the Cayman Islands Department of Agriculture, as a livestock extension officer. In this role, Ms Scott works with farmers to help improve livestock production in the territory. She provides science-based technical advice on livestock to enhance farm productivity, and works as part of the department's team to implement development policies and programmes.
Juliana O'Connor-Connolly, the deputy premier and minister for agriculture, said she was pleased to see how well Ms Scott has adapted to her role and how she is building relationships with farmers. "I have watched her progress and value her approach and contributions to farming in the Cayman Islands," the minister said.
Ms Scott was the driving force behind the department's hosting of the first artificial insemination training workshop last year. In fact, the programme and embryo transfer are her passions. Both methods promote strong breeding stock by reducing inbreeding and are cheaper and safer for farmers and animals.
