I am a Food and Nutrition Scientist with a Master’s degree, supported by a strong academic foundation in Microbiology and Chemistry. My training and experience span laboratory analysis, research design, data interpretation, and scientific writing, with a particular focus on food systems, safety, and nutrition. I have been actively involved in research projects examining food security and food loss, specifically within informal markets in Windhoek. This work has given me practical insight into real-world food systems, public health challenges, and sustainable interventions. In addition, I am engaged in a genetic diversity study on pearl millet using molecular techniques such as SSR markers and PCR, which has strengthened my laboratory, analytical, and technical research skills. My core competencies include: Laboratory techniques (microbiological analysis, PCR, sample preparation) Research methodology and data analysis Scientific and academic writing (reports, theses, literature reviews) Food safety, quality control, and nutrition analysis Tutoring and simplifying complex scientific concepts for students I am particularly passionate about translating scientific knowledge into practical solutions, whether through research, academic support, or applied food science. I have experience working independently and managing multiple projects, ensuring accuracy, attention to detail, and timely delivery. I am currently open to opportunities in research support, academic writing, tutoring (biology, chemistry, and food science), and laboratory-related work.
