@nyiramanadeborah
Horticulture professional driving sustainable urban agriculture and community impact.
RwandaWhat I'm looking for
I am a motivated, detail-oriented horticulture professional with hands-on field experience in community engagement, data-driven agricultural development, and youth empowerment. I founded Bloomee-Greenspaces to promote urban greening, sustainable landscaping, and youth entrepreneurship.
Through roles with CLADHO, Laterite, CIIC-HIN and internships at the Rwanda-Israel Horticulture Center of Excellence, I built practical expertise in Good Agricultural Practices (GAP), crop management and post-harvest handling while conducting monitoring, data collection and reporting.
I have led farmer trainings in horticulture and piggery, managed teams of youth employees, and implemented community mobilization and needs-assessment activities. I am proficient with digital field tools including KoboToolbox and SurveyCTO and comfortable engaging diverse stakeholders — farmers, youth and community leaders.
I am recognized as a Millennium Fellow (Class of 2024) and a top-3 project winner in the Youth Entrepreneurial Design Fellowship (TICO). I seek to contribute to ethical, high-quality data collection and sustainable agri-development initiatives that create measurable environmental and social impact.
