Emmanuel Ramirez
Summary
I am looking for a job in which my work and experience is valued and recognized. I am looking for a place where I am able to build and grow my career as a Pest control Advisor and continue to learn about agriculture production, crop protection, and the different aspects of agriculture. My experience at Capay Farms, has helped me gain knowledge in pest identification, pesticide safety, fertility management, and other agricultural production techniques. It has also helped me to adapt and to work as team alongside other PCAs and CCAs with the company across diverse roles, significantly improving pest management processes. I have also excelled in using technology for efficient monitoring and reporting, such as submitting Pesticide usage reports, and Microsoft services such as excel and word.
