What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to apply my analytical skills in a dynamic environment, contributing to impactful agricultural projects and fostering professional growth.

I am an Agro-Economist with a strong commitment to extracting and synthesizing data into actionable insights that empower management to make informed decisions. My educational background includes a Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Economics from the University of Zambia, where I honed my skills in quantitative analysis and econometric software like STATA.

During my internship at Palm Associates Ltd, I developed practical experience in conducting surveys and data collection for research projects. I am proficient in creating survey questions and forms using Google Sheets and Kobo Collect, and I have a solid understanding of marketing and entrepreneurship. My ability to work under pressure and meet deadlines has been proven through various projects, including the AgriSCALE Student Challenge, where I collaborated on innovative solutions for the agricultural sector.
