Biography

My name is Julio Cesar Zago Teixeira. I am 24 years old and hold a degree in Agronomy from Unicesumar, completed in 2024. I was born in San Alberto, Paraguay, and raised in Katuete, where I finished high school and began working at an early age in my family’s business, later gaining hands-on experience on our farm.

In 2019, I moved to Maringá, Brazil, to pursue my studies, successfully earning my degree in Agronomy in 2024.

Since August 2025, I have been participating in the MAST program as a trainee. I previously worked at Carters Farm in North Dakota, where I plan to return after the semester. Currently, I am working at Gardenworld Greenhouse, further developing my practical experience in the agricultural sector.

I want to gain experience working on farms in the United States, improve my English, and return to my country with a better vision of life and business, as well as some of the American culture.
