Agriculture Engineer graduated in 1998 with a master’s degree in plant protection and a PhD student in Agricultural Science, developing my professional life in the United States, starting my career in the field of ornamental plants in the State of Florida from production to sale, including all aspects involved (reproduction, growth, integrated pest management, and personnel management) plus the customer support and after-sales follow up.

Experience in Paraguay is based on field crops as Research and Development of pesticides (fungicides, insecticides, and herbicides) and biotechnology lab products (inoculants-bacteria). With the master’s in plant Protection, I deepened my knowledge in the control of pests and diseases in various crops ranging from ornamental, horticultural, fruit, forestry, and field crops.

Experience in Ghana - Africa, managing a Cocoa Nursery, from the administration, production, and R&D. My latest experience in the US was in the Cannabis industry as an Agronomist, working from mother stock, cloning, growing, integrated pest management, fertilizer programs, production planning, production on standard operation procedure in different production areas, pathology lab, performing R&D to increase plant performance (pound per sqm, potency and terps) and training technicians in different productions areas (veg, flower, lab), .

With the experience gained over the years, I can reproduce and grow from bacteria and fungi under lab conditions up to trees. I am currently working in a project in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia producing plant material for landscaping projects, will perform R&D in different areas as the Research Leader and Manager of the Living Lab.
