What I'm looking for

I'm seeking an Operations or Administrative role in healthtech, on-site in Lagos or fully remote, where I can combine healthcare domain literacy with proven organizational rigor.

At Ling and Culture Africa, I manage invoicing, receipts, client correspondence, scheduling, recruitment outreach, and daily remote administrative operations.

I also planned and ran a virtual workshop end-to-end, from attendee registration and confirmation emails to live moderation and real-time questions. I build monthly content calendars, create educational visuals in Canva, and coordinate Instagram and TikTok engagement.

At the Nigerian Institute of Medical Research, I process and analyze rectal and nasal samples for the SARMAAN antimicrobial resistance project, handling batches of 100+ samples per cycle under strict protocols and quality standards.

I'm completing a B.Sc. in Biomedical Engineering and bring hands-on experience in sample handling, DNA/RNA extraction, PCR, qPCR, gel electrophoresis, antimicrobial susceptibility testing, and accurate laboratory recordkeeping. I also lead event logistics, budgets, and on-site coordination through the Engineering Ladies Initiative.
