I am a dedicated Veterinarian and Agricultural Instructor with strong expertise in animal health, farm management, and agricultural education. With hands-on experience in livestock production—including cattle, pigs, and poultry—I combine veterinary knowledge with innovative teaching methods to build the skills of future agricultural professionals. As a leader of student initiatives such as the Animal Health Club, I foster practical learning, youth empowerment, and sustainable farming practices. Passionate about advancing animal welfare and productivity, I also engage in extension services and community-based projects that maximize yields, strengthen food security, and empower farmers.
