What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to contribute to sustainable agribusiness practices while fostering growth and innovation in the industry.

I am a strategic and driven agribusiness professional with a solid background in aquaculture profitability research and value chain development. My experience includes leading student associations and engaging with stakeholders to foster strong relationships. I am passionate about contributing to sustainable and profitable operations in the fish processing industry.

Currently, I am completing my BSc in Agribusiness Management at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, where I have conducted research on the profitability of catfish production. My work experience includes a national service role with the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, where I have honed my skills in project coordination and administrative operations.

In addition to my academic and professional pursuits, I have actively participated in leadership roles within student organizations, promoting social events and sustainable agricultural practices. I am committed to leveraging my skills in data analysis, research, and stakeholder engagement to drive impactful change in the agribusiness sector.
