Entry-level natural resources professional with teaching and tech skills.
ZimbabweWhat I'm looking for
I am an early-career natural resources management graduate with practical experience in agricultural extension and tertiary teaching. I combine a BSc (Hons) in Natural Resources Management and Agriculture with hands-on roles in extension services and classroom instruction.
My recent role as an Agricultural Extension Officer with AGRITEX and previous lecturing positions demonstrate my ability to translate technical knowledge into practical guidance for learners and farming communities. I have led departments and managed coursework as Head of Department at Workers College.
I augment my sector expertise with technical skills including Python programming (introductory to advanced), electronic timing systems, and project management essentials. I communicate fluently in English, IsiNdebele, SiSwati, ChiShona, and basic German (Deutsche A1).
I am committed to building a long-term career in a reputable organisation where I can apply strategic planning, research and teaching abilities to support agricultural development and community capacity building.
