Brief profile: 
I am a teaching staff member in the Department of Crop Sciences at the University of Rwanda, where I have served since November 2011. My work involves teaching, research, and outreach in Agriculture, with specialisation in Horticulture. I have held several administrative and leadership roles, including Acting Head of Department, Academic Secretary, and Internal Moderator for horticulture-related examinations. I have contributed to curriculum development and review at institutional and national levels and developed training manuals for education and extension. I have published in peer-reviewed journals and aim to support Rwanda’s agricultural and horticultural development through knowledge generation and dissemination.
