After completing my graduate studies with MESCI, I was offered an internship with the Food and Agriculture organization of the United Nations (FAO) at the headquarters in Rome. My duties involved researching and examining good agricultural practices and technologies for developing countries. During my time at FAO I had to opportunity to develop capacity building extension material for training agricultural workers in developing countries as well as draft web entries for the online platform, “Technologies and Practices for Small Agricultural Producers (TECA)”. Subsequent to my internship I was offered a project associate position with the NGO Innovations for Poverty Action in Kenya, managing a field office for a research project centered on agricultural technologies in rural East Africa.
