What I'm looking for

I seek roles in public health programs focused on M&E, digital data collection, and community engagement where I can lead field teams, improve data quality, and contribute to measurable health outcomes.

I am a public health fieldworker with over two years of hands-on experience supporting national health programs across Nigeria, including WHO, SFH, GRID3, NMEP, and SMC. I specialize in digital data collection and validation using tools such as ODK, SurveyCTO, Kobo, DHIS2, and GPS, and I have a proven track record of delivering actionable insights to stakeholders.

I have supervised and trained field teams, ensuring high-quality data collection and achieving 95%+ data accuracy; I have monitored immunization campaigns, verified vaccinations for over 1,500 children, and conducted settlement mapping that reached full coverage. My work emphasizes data quality assurance, timely reporting, and community engagement to improve program outcomes.

I hold a BA in English Education from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, and I am passionate about strengthening monitoring & evaluation systems, advancing community health, and applying digital tools to enhance national public health initiatives.
