Young, ambitious, and dedicated: I am a Malagasy agricultural engineer working to develop a more inclusive and sustainable model for agriculture in my country.
As a consultant in nutrition and gender equality my mission is to increase food security in Madagascar while empowering women to particate in this change. I firmly believe that when women, especially rural women, have the knowledge to succeed they can become key drivers of a country's development.
As a trainer, I share my expertise with various stakeholders, including farmers, students, government officials, and the general public. I am a passionate learner and I seek to always incorporate new ideas into my training programmes, which is why I am currently pursuing doctoral research in the area of nutrition-sensitive agriculture.
Beyond my professional activities, I also enjoy reading, writing, and drawing. I enjoy writing poetry in three languages: Malagasy (my mother tongue), French, and English. I seek to nourish my mind, deepen my artistic sensibility and broaden my understanding of the world.
Below is my favourite quote:
As one person, I cannot change the world, but I can change the world of one person.
It eloquently encapsulates the idea that while individual actions may seem small in the grand scheme of things, they can still have a profound impact on someone's life. It's a powerful reminder to me of the value of personal connections and the difference we can make for people on an individual level.
