  • 🌱Excited to share that I joined New Entry Sustainable Agriculture 3 weeks ago as a Data Analysis and Training intern! I am incredibly delighted to spend my summer break analyzing workshop evaluation surveys to create compelling visuals and summaries and assess programs' overall effectiveness. As well as developing innovative surveys and strategies to boost farmer participation and crafting user-friendly financial templates in Google Sheets based on partner documents. As part of my role, I contribute to the launch of a grant by defining work plans, organizing workshops, and developing essential materials. Engaging with volunteers, supporting communication strategies, and participating in outreach activities have all been enriching experiences so far. I am thrilled to contribute to New Entry’s mission of supporting sustainable agriculture and empowering farmers. I look forward to continuing to grow and make a meaningful impact in the agricultural community. #sustainableagriculture #communityengagement #agricultureinnovation
