What I'm looking for

I seek a leadership role in agriculture or natural resources where I can apply project management skills, scale farmer training, improve value chains, and support climate-smart, market-oriented agricultural programs.

I am an experienced agriculture and natural resources professional with an MBA in Project Management and a BSc (Hons) in Horticulture, currently serving as Director of Agriculture and Natural Resources for Rubavu District. I have led planning, resource mobilization, implementation, monitoring and reporting, supervised disease control campaigns, and localized national agricultural and natural resources policies at district level.

I have over eight years of field and sector-level experience as an Agriculture and Natural Resources Officer and Director, complemented by extensive professional development—certificates in project management, climate and agribusiness, crop pest management, postharvest technologies, AI literacy, and multiple online courses—enabling me to drive technical advice, training, stakeholder coordination and market access for farmers.
