I also have experience in transporting biological agents/reagents locally and internationally. I am also a firm believer and demonstrated in my experience one health approach involving humans, animals, and the environment as the best approach to control diseases. I have prepared different documents used for the training of adults at Addis Ababa University. Among these Training manuals for biomedical waste management and biosafety biosecurity in molecular biology laboratories are some to mention. I have experience as a trainer of para-vets, Vets, and farmers on heard health management as well as a Laboratory technician and attendants on occupational health safety and biomedical waste management. I have also acquired and demonstrated experience in the planning, implementation, livestock health issues.
