Academic/professional merits and interests

I am very hardworking, motivated, and creative and career oriented.

I am confident in my knowledge and experience in piggery farming, Dairy farming, farming activities, and this motivated me to enroll for a Diploma course in Animal Husbandry at Bukalasa Agricultural College.

I wish to implement my farming experience, knowledge and new learned practical skills I will have gained from Denmark to improve on the animal sector of my home country.

I am an intern at Makerere University Agricultural Research Institute
