Profile:

As a member of CAIA, I can see an opportunity to help both academics and industry to establish a closer relationship with science and technology applied to agriculture and food systems. I also see an opportunity for me and my colleagues to learn and grow new skills together, so we would benefit personally, and professionally. Virginia Tech is a multicultural workplace, which I believe will be is a stimulating environment to learn from other cultures and have different insights into agriculture or technology solutions based on people's backgrounds. Communication and how to translate scientific knowledge into easy-to-follow information are the key factors to achieving the goals of a growing population. In this sense, my goal as a student and a professional is to learn as much as I can from people and to make our scientific knowledge more accessible to anyone. I believe that being part of CAIA will allow me to become a leader in precision agriculture, and not only help farmers in the US but also inspire young leaders in other countries.I seek to learn new insights into a problem that I can not solve by only looking from one side. In this sense, I want to create a new network with the professors and students involved in this group. Additionally, I want to become a student leader that will bring undergraduate and graduate students to the group.
