FijiWhat I'm looking for
I am a Bachelor of Agriculture in Applied Science graduate currently pursuing postgraduate studies in Crop Science, with hands-on volunteer experience across research stations and quarantine labs in Fiji.
I have volunteered at AH & P (Animal, Health & Productivity) Nadi, Nadi Crop Extension, AH & P Koroniva, Legalega Research Station PEQ Lab (Koroniva), and the Sugar Research Institute of Fiji, supporting research activities and learning practical lab and field techniques.
I am enthusiastic, independent, flexible and enjoy working with diverse age groups, institutes, and communities. I bring strong time-management, teamwork, and communication skills, and I am comfortable working with minimal supervision.
Outside of research and study, I enjoy gardening, driving and travel, and maintaining personal fitness; I am eager to apply my academic knowledge and field experience in roles that advance crop and agricultural research or community-focused agricultural programs.
