What I'm looking for

I seek remote roles (preferably Europe-based) using my hydroponic technical skills, partnership management, and educator outreach to drive operational reliability and growth.

I am a hydroponic systems specialist with a B.A. in Anthropology-Sociology and hands-on experience maintaining commercial and educational Controlled-Environment Agriculture sites.

I execute weekly maintenance, system builds, diagnostics, and minor plumbing and electrical repairs to sustain continuous production cycles and ensure food-safety compliance.

I also manage high-volume inventory and logistics, curate tasting and outreach events, and run social media to grow brand engagement for specialty retail and hospitality venues.

I train staff and educators, translate technical concepts for diverse audiences, and seek remote opportunities in the European market to apply technical troubleshooting and partnership management skills.
