I turn nutrition evidence into food-fortification policy, advocacy, and program decisions across Nigeria and the region.

What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead evidence-driven nutrition and public health programs where I can strengthen policy, advocacy, knowledge management, stakeholder engagement, and capacity building.

At Helen Keller Intl, I turn program data, randomized controlled trial findings, and implementation evidence into briefs, communications plans, and advocacy tools for food fortification decisions.

I've supported nutrition policy adaptation in Ebonyi, Bauchi, and FCT; coordinated grant-writing and nutrition-programming mentorship for 80 community-based organizations; and helped develop advocacy briefs that supported a Severe Acute Management stabilization center in Abakaliki.

Across Jhpiego, FHI 360, CSR-in-Action, HCDI, and HOPE worldwide Nigeria, I've led program delivery, stakeholder engagement, resource mobilization, grant management, reporting, monitoring, and strategic communications for public health and development programs.
