Hi, I'm Roseverah Paul!
Field Surveillance Officer at CABI
I am a highly motivated Crop Protection graduate with a strong foundation in agricultural science, pest management, and crop health. Seeking a challenging role in the agricultural industry in Kenya to apply my knowledge and skills to contribute to sustainable farming practices. I am a fast learner and make a great team player and can work under very limited supervision. I am motivated by the opportunities and learnings through schoolwork and on-the-job training through internships, attachments, and employment to contribute toward a hunger-free Africa. I hope to contribute to the policy, design, research and innovations in the Crop protection through the experience I will gain in my work.
