Summary

My unwavering dedication to excellence in task execution facilitated my entry into my late father's training faculty at the Ecological Agriculture Training Institute (EATI), marking the commencement of my professional journey. My father, an esteemed agriculture educator, imparted to me a robust foundation in contemporary agricultural development. Within our household, I actively contributed to food production, overseeing the grazing of our animals, attending to the animal pens, and performing other related responsibilities. This hands-on experience, gained through collaboration with my father and fellow professional farmers over the years, inspired me to pursue further advancement in the agricultural field. My enthusiasm for agriculture ultimately guided me to the University of Liberia, where I achieved a Bachelor of Science degree in general agriculture, maintaining a cumulative GPA of 3.05, along with additional certifications. Recently, the government of Liberia, via the Ministry of Agriculture, extended an opportunity for me to engage in a training course focused on agricultural technology and management in Beijing, People's Republic of China. This training has enriched my scientific understanding in agricultural education, research, innovative developments, market analysis, cooperative management, leadership, and administration. With over five years of practical and professional experience, I am actively seeking a challenging position and training opportunity within a distinguished agriculture organization, aimed at expanding my knowledge and skills while contributing significantly to the organization's success.
