Member of:
I am the Research Manager for the Hans Merensky Chair in Avocado Research, led by Professor Noëlani van den Berg, at FABI.
My role is to provide administrative, operational, and academic support to the research group. This includes laboratory management, research administration, postgraduate student support, funding administration, and regulatory compliance. I also assist with student supervision, manuscript and grant preparation, scientific editing, and the coordination of research and academic activities.
