Profile:

Tasmia Kabir is from Bangladesh, where she received her BSc. and MSc. in Economics at Jahangirnagar University.

Her growing experience in environment and climate-related issues spurred her interest in Best Management Practices in the agricultural sector in Canada. Thus, she investigated the agronomic, environmental, and economic performance of split nitrogen application on corn compared to traditional pre-plant broadcast methods across weather scenarios. She plans to pursue a career in non-profit organizations as a research and policy analyst.
