Passionate urban planner with experience in design and education.
NigeriaWhat I'm looking for
I am an optimistic and highly motivated individual with practical experience in various fields, primarily in urban planning, design, and education. My journey began with a strong foundation in Urban and Regional Planning, where I earned my Higher National Diploma with Upper Credit from Yaba College of Technology. I have honed my skills through internships and teaching roles, where I developed exceptional communication and problem-solving abilities.
Currently, I am interning at Diel Yusuf Associates, where I engage in AutoCAD design and project report writing. My previous experience at the Lagos State Physical Planning Authority allowed me to contribute to documentation and client approval processes. I am committed to continuous learning and aim to acquire relevant certifications while pursuing a master’s degree in Urban Planning and Product Design.
