Result-oriented by personality. Proactive to accept challenges. A horticulturist by profession. 

I’m an experienced horticulturist with a proven record of 11 years in agriculture studies. I had experience in practical work in the field and lab experimentation. My vast research experience enabled me to excel in crop production, pathogen and nutrient impact, postharvest management of horticultural crops,  and employee collaboration. I had served 4 months in the teaching field and 1 year as a research assistant. My crucial expertise are including horticultural crops sustainable production and preservation, Microsoft office, experimentation, data compiling, food supply chain, and safety management.

Through my diverse professional background as a Horticulture major, I was awarded the certificate of “Extraordinary Achievements in Academics” in 2016 at the university level.     

I had completed my Ph.D. dissertation in Horticulture major with the food safety and postharvest of fruits and vegetable specifications. The journey of my dissertation was started from the field level with data compiling with regards to the source of contamination and ends up with the elimination of studied contaminants at the household level from horticultural crops prior to consumption.
