My professional career in agriculture began after obtaining my Master's Degree in Agricultural Education at Texas A&M University, USA. And that beginning took place at the Instituto Universitario Pedagógico de Barquisimeto in the state of Lara, Venezuela (IUPEB) which later became Universidad Pedagógica Experimental Libertador (UPEL), remaining there for 25 years.
At that higher education institution I taught classes in the area of animal husbandry, basically with the subjects Forage Farming, Introduction to Animal Husbandry, Bovine Production, Milk and Dairy Products, Formulation and Evaluation of Agricultural Projects in different semesters of the studies on the training of a technical agricultural education teacher (animal husbandry and phytotechnics).
At the same time I developed extension work towards agricultural communities and in technical schools of agricultural education, as well as research work in this field which had the expected diffusion.
In the administrative area, I was part of the committees for the design of the curriculum and the reformulation of the study programs for the specialty of animal production. With great satisfaction, I formed part of the committee that designed the master's degree in technical education at the university.
Regarding my international work experience, I can say that I was assigned as a Technical Assistant in Animal Production, on the island of the Commonwealth of Dominica, W.I. for a period of two years. During this time, I developed projects on a rabbit breeding center and another on pigs. I also worked as a professor at the Dupigny Technical College and provided advice to small livestock producers on the island according to my weekly schedule.
Several feasible projects, under my authorship, were revealed within the university community during my stay; but one in particular that should be highlighted is the ''Establishment and Management of a Rabbit Farm at the El Goajiro Agricultural Experimental Station'', which was financed by the university for its execution.
