Summary

As an agronomist with several years of experience in the agricultural, livestock, forestry, and agro-industrial sectors, I possess a diverse range of valuable skills. My expertise extends from managing livestock, poultry, and swine production to overseeing various types of nurseries, as well as effectively handling the cultivation and management of fruit trees and flowers, encompassing reproduction, growth, harvesting, transformation, and commercialization processes. My passion for agriculture stems from my family's background in the industry, which inspired me to pursue a technical career in agronomy and related fields. Throughout my journey, I have gained practical experience and insights working for different companies in the food industry, understanding the importance of delivering quality food products to society.

Moreover, since my childhood i was involvement in my family restaurant provided me with invaluable experience in the gastronomic environment, honing my customer service skills and kitchen operations knowledge.

Currently employed as a Grocery Store Associate in a supermarket, I excel in customer service, assisting customers in locating products, stocking shelves across various departments including fruits, vegetables, meats, seafood, and dairy, conducting inventories, packing products, and managing warehouse inventory. I thrive under pressure, both independently and as part of a team, leveraging my strong communication skills to foster positive relationships with colleagues, supervisors, and managers.

Additionally, I continuously seek to enhance my skills through advanced computer programs and equipment certifications to adapt to evolving work modalities and stay updated on various food production-related topics. I am eager to leverage my knowledge and experience to contribute strategically to a company and further develop my current skill set.
