Hello! My name is Jacques-Petrus Boshoff, and I am a 26-year-old plant biotechnology graduate with a background in plant pathology. I graduated from the University of Pretoria with a BSc degree in Plant Biotechnology, and during my last year of studies, I completed several plant pathology courses.Throughout my studies, I worked part-time in retail for about 5 years. After completing my degree, I worked on and off at Kilnerpark Nursery, where I gained valuable experience as a Sales Accountant and Plant Disease Expert. My responsibilities included customer queries, stock management and purchases, advertisement, providing in-depth advice on pest and disease control, maintenance, computer maintenance, communication management, sales accounting, and administrative duties.Currently, I am managing the website development and online store of Kilnerpark Nursery while also taking care of miscellaneous duties. In August 2013, I worked as a Sales Accountant at Voortrekker Monument and was responsible for cash exchange, cash up, customer queries, complaints, and general management of kitchen staff. From November 2015 to October 2019, I worked as a bartender at Voortrekker Monument for formal functions. I was also an Adventure Tourist Guide from November 2018 to November 2019 at HD Adventures, where I assisted with belaying, zip line operations, and equipment inspection.I specialize in plant pathology and epidemiology and want to pursue a career in this field. My goal is to find suitable online courses I can take while working in South Africa to further develop my career in the scientific and/or agricultural community. As a graduate in biotechnology who specialized in plant science and plant pathology, I possess excellent interpersonal and leadership skills. I am adaptable, driven, and reliable, and I can use my years of work experience in many different environments to improve productivity and effectively work on any problem that needs to be solved.In January 2023, I worked as a plant expert at Château des Tesnières in France, where I was responsible for general garden maintenance and tree planting. I also identified plant diseases and treated them and provided general reports.I am fluent in both Afrikaans (home language) and English (1st additional language). My strengths include taking responsibility, training capabilities, adaptability, ability to learn, empathy, and integrity.
