What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a position where I can apply my clinical skills and expertise in health education, patient advocacy, and research to improve healthcare outcomes in underserved communities.

At WHO, I conducted field data collection for health programs focused on malaria eradication, maternal health, and vaccination campaigns in Kano State. I developed data collection protocols for monitoring immunization programs and trained 50+ field teams to use digital tools for real-time health surveillance.

At World Vision International, I coordinated integrated health and nutrition programs focused on maternal and child health in conflict-affected regions. Nutritional assessments informed targeted interventions that reduced malnutrition rates by 25%.

My work has also included HIV prevention and treatment programs, nutrition services, and maternal, newborn, and child health initiatives. I’ve researched malnutrition and malaria, and at the University of Brighton I assisted with data analysis on maternal health trends and preparation of scientific manuscripts.
