About

I am an agricultural specialist and plant pathologist advancing sustainable food security and climate-resilient farming systems.

I integrate pathogen diagnostics with statistical analysis in R and SPSS to devise targeted crop protection strategies. Through technical field extension and training, I empower farming communities to scale yields and conserve water.
