CAREER GOALS

Short Term Goal

To make a valuable contribution to ensure sustainable ongoing agricultural production.
Sustainability will primarily be a product of the environment’s capacity to produce and the
viability of production for the producers. Bringing these two together will be key to ensuring
ongoing agricultural production.

Long Term Goal

Life is a learning process full of different kinds of experiences. I hope to fully utilise what I
have learned and to keep building on it to grow into a position where I can share a positive
influence and bring improvements to methods people are currently using; whether it is
changing the way people produce food and sustain themselves, or whether it is in decision-
making in a corporate setting. It is my mission that whatever I put my hands on I will bring
glory to God in the process. With my drive to make use of opportunities, to take on
challenges, and to performing my tasks in an honourable manner, I wish that I can positively
contribute to a positive culture in the University.
