      For me, it was a lecturer in college, who encouraged me to be curious and to ask questions and showed me how much research and science can help in the world today.

      I was inspired by the farmers and plants, I was always fascinated about how we continually get our food from plants and how do they make it and from farmers because, I have seen my grandfather and other growers struggling to keep their crop healthy so that they can produce good food for us. I always wanted to explore plant science be with nature yet contribute to finding the answers that will make agriculture production a sustainable one.

      I didn’t know anyone working in research before I started. But, I have had so many people support me along the way, from teachers in school, lecturers in college, friends and family.
