Manasa Sharma

New Delhi,India

Summary

I am a highly motivated postgraduate in Agriculture, Plant Breeding, and Genetics, with an academic foundation and practical exposure to field trials and crop improvement research, as well as molecular biology. My education and hands-on internships have equipped me with the ability to add tangible value to agricultural R&D, while also serving as a launchpad for continuous growth in the seed and crop sciences industry. I bring strong communication, organizational, and time management skills, honed through academic leadership roles, scientific writing, and multi-institutional collaborations. Proficient in MS Office, I am capable of working effectively in both research-oriented and team-based environments. Driven by curiosity and a strong work ethic, I thrive in roles that demand both independence and teamwork. Whether it’s conducting lab-based genetic analysis, coordinating field trials, or contributing to research publications, I remain committed to learning, problem-solving, and contributing meaningfully to any organization I am a part of.
