What I'm looking for

I'm looking for opportunities in structured agricultural trade, market information, farmer services, field data, and commercially viable agricultural value chains where I can contribute to operations, research, and compliance processes.

I'm building practical experience across agricultural field projects, data collection, and operations coordination in Uganda. At Gem Zavanna (EA) Ltd, I support vendor sourcing, documentation, stakeholder communication, and delivery tracking.

I've collected and verified agricultural project data at JEEP, including for Heifer International's DREEM Hub project, and gained customs compliance exposure at Uganda Revenue Authority. My final-year Makerere University research examines irrigation choices among smallholder farmers in Wakiso District.
