What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters collaboration, innovation, and professional growth in food science.

I am a Food Science and Technology graduate with hands-on experience in food production, processing, and quality control. My journey has equipped me with a solid foundation in food microbiology and biotechnology, alongside a Diploma in Advanced Agricultural Studies. I thrive in environments that demand innovation and sustainable practices, and I am passionate about contributing to food security.

In my recent role as a Virtual Assistant at ALX Africa, I honed my skills in administrative support, project management, and client interaction. I excel in managing schedules, conducting online research, and utilizing various digital tools to enhance productivity. My experience as an intern in agricultural entrepreneurship in Israel further solidified my commitment to sustainable agriculture and innovation.

With strong leadership skills and a dedication to teamwork, I am eager to leverage my expertise in a dynamic role that values collaboration and growth. I am committed to delivering exceptional results and continuously improving my skills in the ever-evolving field of food science and technology.
