What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to leverage my expertise in agricultural economics while contributing to impactful research and community development initiatives.

I am a dedicated lecturer and researcher at Mizan-Tepi University, specializing in agricultural economics. With over six years of experience, I have instructed a variety of courses including microeconomics, econometrics, and international trade. My commitment to education extends beyond the classroom, as I actively engage in community service and research projects that benefit our local agricultural sector.

Throughout my career, I have successfully coordinated undergraduate thesis research and managed teaching-learning processes within the Agricultural Economics department. My academic background includes a Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Economics and a Master of Science in Development Economics, both of which have equipped me with a strong foundation in economic theory and practical application. I am passionate about fostering student growth and contributing to the advancement of agricultural practices in Ethiopia.
