What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to leverage my content writing and agricultural expertise while contributing to meaningful projects.

I am a dedicated freelance content writer with extensive experience in agricultural documentation and translation. Over the years, I have honed my skills in creating engaging articles and blogs, particularly on the Medium platform. My journey began with a Certificate in Digital Content Writing, which laid the foundation for my career in content creation.

Since 2009, I have been associated with LEISA India, a magazine focused on the experiences of farmers and agricultural institutions. My role has evolved from proofreading to translating content into regional languages, allowing me to contribute significantly to the dissemination of agricultural knowledge. Additionally, I have developed training materials and authored books that empower farmers with updated farming practices.

My academic background includes a B.Sc in Agriculture and an M.Sc in Environmental Science, which complement my practical experience in natural resource management and training. I am passionate about using my skills to make a positive impact in the agricultural sector and am always eager to learn and grow in my field.
