In his eleven years as a lead professional meteorologist, he has provided mission-critical forecast guidance and consulting to satisfied clients across the full spectrum of agricultural markets, including producers, processors, end-users, and traders.

Next Week's Program
G.R.S.P. student-Felipe Fernandes Lopez

Felipe Fernandes Lopez is from Brazil. He is studying Engineering. He is sponsored by the Rotary Club of Sao Paulo Lapa.

Service Activity:

In the first semester of 2016, I participated in a project with a student organization called

Enactus, in which I and my team developed a system with the goal of capturing rain water and utilizing it in a

House of rehabilitation for drug addicts called Efraim. Last year I also registered in a process for a student

organization called PCT, whice is an organization for helping poor children with education and recreational

activities, although because of my lack of availability, I decide to give up during the process. Right now I'm not

involved with any students organization or society because of my busy schedule on the University.

Leadership Roles:

I study hard and I am very dedicated when I decide to do something. Because of that,

I have knowledge and expertise to support my opinion during a conversation or at my university classes. I

participated once in a project where the group would take turns for leading the meetings every week in pairs. It

was a great experience. Also, I was a monitor of NLP during a Practiotioner's class.
