About

Professional summary

I am a Diploma holder in Agricultural Production with practical experience in crop production, agricultural extension, field research, and farm operations. I have worked with annual, perennial, horticultural, and ornamental crops in both commercial and research settings.

I provide farmer-focused support in pest and disease diagnosis, fertilizer recommendations, soil fertility assessment, and safe agrochemical application. In my agrovet sales role, I advised approximately 450 farmers on crop problems, product selection, application methods, and fertilizer timing.

I have hands-on experience conducting field trials and agricultural research activities, including random sampling, CRD, RCBD, ANOVA, crop monitoring, seed preparation, nursery establishment, and research record keeping. I support accurate data collection and reporting to help inform practical agronomy decisions.

I am experienced in coffee, tobacco, cassava, and maize production activities, including planting, weeding, pruning, irrigation support, harvesting, post-harvest handling, and crop health monitoring. I have also supervised a group of around 200 coffee pickers to ensure quality harvesting of ripe cherries.

I am TFRA fertilizer certified and committed to helping farmers improve productivity through practical extension services, responsible input use, and clear communication. I also have remote experience in online market surveys and AI feedback annotation, where I work independently, meet deadlines, and maintain organized documentation.
