Oscar Barasa Ondaso
I am a dedicated student currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Economics and Finance at Maseno University in Kenya, with an anticipated graduation date of December 2024. Throughout my academic journey, I have developed a strong proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite, particularly Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, enabling me to analyze data and make informed decisions effectively.
I possess excellent communication and interpersonal skills, which have allowed me to collaborate efficiently in team environments. My involvement in projects such as the Market Research Project has equipped me with the ability to conduct comprehensive studies on consumer preferences and purchasing behavior, providing valuable insights for marketing strategies.
Moreover, I have a keen interest in agricultural development principles and food security initiatives, which I have further explored through my participation in the Community Outreach Program. Working with a team to promote sustainable agriculture practices has reinforced my commitment to making a positive impact in my community.
In addition to my coursework in Strategic Management, Marketing, Financial Accounting, and BusinessEthics, I am a quick learner with a proactive attitude and strong attention to detail. I am eager to apply my skills and knowledge to contribute effectively in a professional setting, and I am excited about the opportunity to further develop and grow in my career.
