What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply data analysis, laboratory research, and scientific communication skills in roles that support evidence-based projects, operational improvement, and meaningful research outcomes.

I've supported diagnostic testing at Vcare Diagnostic Limited, analyzed operational data at Intrasolutions Consultancy, and contributed to herbal medicine research at the Nigeria Natural Medicine Development Agency. My work includes laboratory assays, sample tracking, client records, project documentation, and reports that supported business planning and a 95% on-time task completion rate.

I'm a First Class Biochemistry graduate and founder of Scientific Minds of Africa, where I lead research mentorship and STEM programs. I bring experience in molecular docking, biochemical analysis, scientific writing, data analysis, and research presentations spanning enzyme kinetics, diabetes, nanomaterials, and natural products.
