Cathy is an organic farmer. Her goals are to learn how to process and export locally grown fruits and vegetables and to get her company’s products into the organic market. She is always wanting to help her community by starting an urban and mini livestock farming.

Cathy has dabbled in all sorts of careers, including ground hostess at Kigali International Airport, a receptionist at the American Embassy in Rwanda, a receptionist at the Hotel des Diplômates, which later turned into two scholarships for programs in Austria. She has also worked in the field of marketing and communications, as well as realty.

Cathy is most looking forward to meeting American professionals and taking back new ideas to her country. She is also eager to meet people in the fields of organic farming and urban agriculture.

“After hearing last year’s graduates’ testimonies and the way the trip impacted their way of doing business, I heavily believe that I will gain experience which will help me improve my way of doing business,” Cathy said.
