ZambiaWhat I'm looking for
I am a passionate Agriculture Science Teacher and Project Manager with over four years of experience in teaching and managing agricultural projects. My journey in education has been marked by a commitment to fostering creativity and problem-solving skills among students, particularly through hands-on learning experiences. I have successfully led various initiatives, including the JETS Club and Production Unit, which encouraged students to engage actively in their learning processes.
In addition to my teaching role, I have extensive experience in project planning and management, particularly in agroforestry and agronomy. My recent position as a Fruit Tree Technical Expert involved overseeing greenhouse management practices and ensuring effective irrigation systems for crop production. I thrive in collaborative environments where I can leverage my skills in data entry and analysis to enhance project outcomes and contribute to sustainable agricultural practices.
