What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters collaboration, encourages innovation, and supports career growth in agricultural development.

I am a highly motivated agricultural economist with extensive experience in agricultural project management, sales, and data collection. My strong background in crop production and agrochemical application has equipped me with the skills to guide farmers on best practices while fostering relationships with government and non-government stakeholders. I am recognized for my ability to lead teams and manage projects from inception to completion, driving significant sales growth and enhancing organizational performance.

Throughout my career, I have successfully trained and onboarded over 200 farmers into various agricultural projects, improving their adoption of recommended farming practices. My role as a Project Supervisor at WTS Energy Company has allowed me to collaborate with agricultural stakeholders and government officials to establish strategic partnerships that benefit local communities. I am passionate about utilizing technical tools such as MS Excel and data analysis systems to optimize operational efficiency and support data-driven decision-making.
