What I'm looking for

I’m looking to join a reproductive health team where I can run ART with strict QA/QC, contribute to clinical-trial data work, and use precise EMR documentation to improve patient outcomes.

I’m a Clinical Embryologist and Chemical Pathology researcher with a Master’s degree from the University of Ibadan. I operate ART laboratory workflows end-to-end—oocyte retrieval, embryo grading (Cleavage and Blastocyst stages), and vitrification/warming—while keeping a strong focus on post-thaw survival and patient outcomes.

I also bring research and documentation discipline from a Randomized Control Trial data investigator role with FrieslandCampina, where I managed large datasets and supported reporting. In the IVF lab, I maintain rigorous QA/QC, verify accurate patient identification and chain of custody for gametes and embryos, and document everything in EMR systems to meet national health regulations and accreditation standards.
