Summary
I am an experienced agriculturalist with a Bachelor of Science (Honors) degree in Natural Resources Management and Agriculture from Midlands State University, Zimbabwe. My professional journey spans over eight years in various roles focused on agronomy, horticulture, and sustainable farming practices.
At Inotho Farm Solutions, I worked as an agricultural consultant, educating clients on best practices for efficient crop production and assisting with budgeting and cost monitoring. I coordinated technical and marketing activities, including field days and demonstration trials, to promote the company’s services while evaluating the economic and environmental impacts of farming practices.
Previously, I was with Burma Valley Group, where I managed client relationships and oversaw goat breeding operations. My role involved ensuring quality assurance of meat products and managing logistics for produce deliveries, which honed my skills in client satisfaction and operational efficiency.
At Beyond Lime (Gohwo), I specialized in soil and plant health consultancy, focusing on turf management. I produced and maintained turf grass while utilizing specialized equipment for efficient operations. My responsibilities included equipment maintenance and soil reconditioning consultancy, ensuring high-quality outcomes for corporate and individual clients.
My early experience at Intercrest Capital Finance involved managing farm operations and implementing production schedules for both field and horticultural crops. I was responsible for sourcing markets and negotiating contracts, enhancing my skills in financial management and record-keeping.
With a solid foundation in agronomy and a commitment to sustainable agricultural practices, I am eager to leverage my expertise to contribute positively to future agricultural initiatives.
