What do you enjoy most about the role?
The opportunities to speak with students from different areas of study and talk about their interests. Many people don’t realize there is a place for them in the agbiosciences and being able to foster that connection is fulfilling.
What has surprised you the most about the agbiosciences?
I was unaware of the important role agbioscience plays in environmental sustainability. Beyond enhancing food production, its innovations have helped develop biofuels, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and much more, making it a key contributor to global environmental efforts.
Which agbioscience company interests you most, and why?
I’m fascinated with the advancements made by Biodyne USA. For example, they have created different sustainable bioremediation solutions using microorganisms which are super cool, and I encourage anyone interested to check them out!
How can students get in touch with you?
They can reach out to me via email or connect with me on LinkedIn.
