What I'm looking for

I seek roles that combine field research and on-farm practice, emphasizing sustainable agriculture, farmer training, community impact, and opportunities to scale value-chain solutions.

I am an agribusiness graduate passionate about agricultural research, sustainable farming, and youth wealth creation through agriculture. I combine field research experience with practical farm management and community mobilization to drive measurable improvements.

I have supported large-scale data collection and analysis using ODK, KoBo Collect, and Qualtrics, and I have conducted FGDs and KIIs across multiple counties. I supervised teams of field assistants and ensured timely submission of high-quality field reports.

On the practical side, I have managed demonstration farms, run poultry and tree nursery operations, implemented regenerative agriculture techniques, and led farmer trainings. I have also promoted agricultural products and bio-herbicides, building distributor and stockist networks and organizing effective field days.

I bring professionalism, integrity, and a collaborative leadership style, with strengths in stakeholder engagement, sales and marketing of agriproducts, and capacity building. I seek to apply my research and field skills to roles that expand food security and sustainable farming practices.
