I am a highly motivated and results-oriented Horticulturist with a strong background in crop production, management, and research. With experience in farm management, I have developed skills in budgeting, labor sourcing, and team leadership. I am committed to adopting new farming techniques and sustainable practices to match consumer demand and align with climatic dynamics.

Throughout my career, I have worked with various organizations, including Jimmy & Sons' Enterprises, World Food Programme, and Equity Bank Limited Kenya. I have honed my skills in project management, data validation, and effective communication, making me a valuable asset to any organization.

I am a creative problem solver with a strong work ethic, and I thrive in fast-paced environments with minimal supervision. I am committed to utilizing my knowledge and experience to drive results and advance my career.
