Profile…

My name is Yesica, I am currently studying Agronomy, but I am already a

technician in environmental control systems and technologies. I would like to look
for a job in the field of agronomy since it is a very broad field and I can work in
everything that has to do with crops. In a certain way, I wish at some point to want
to study Marine Biology at the Universidad Tadeo in Bogotá.
By experimenting with many crops and types of crops, I can apply the different
inputs that really work, thus being one of the best ways to get a good job contract
where I can start as an employee and then gradually work my way up. Starting as
a seasonal worker and then a full-time job, and ending as a temporary job, finally
having my own business, thus being an autonomous job with a lot of learning.
