What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters collaboration and drives impactful change in agriculture.

I am a versatile manager with a strong background in coordinating diverse teams and managing complex projects. My experience spans various roles, including Field Manager at Pula Advisors, where I planned and coordinated field operations, provided technical guidance, and facilitated capacity-building sessions for farmers and stakeholders. My commitment to enhancing efficiency and productivity is evident in my successful implementation of innovative solutions that have resulted in positive organizational changes.

Throughout my career, I have engaged with key stakeholders, developed comprehensive reports, and conducted thorough audits to ensure project accuracy and compliance. My work with the United Nations and the International Labour Organization has further honed my skills in policy development and stakeholder collaboration, allowing me to effectively address the needs of smallholder farmers in Tanzania. I am passionate about fostering collaborative environments and driving impactful change in the agricultural sector.
