What I'm looking for

I'm looking to contribute to community health programs, health education, preventive healthcare, research, and initiatives that improve access to healthcare services.

I'm currently supporting DTI Foundation's community-based public health programs, coordinating outreach activities focused on health education and preventive healthcare.

I've worked with RIVCHIPP to increase awareness of state health insurance and improve community access to healthcare services. Through Mentally Aware Nigeria Initiative, I provided counseling support, delivered outreach programs, and organized workshops on stress management and depression.

My academic foundation includes an MSc in Public Health and a BSc in Pharmacology and Therapeutics. During internships with NAFDAC in Lagos and Port Harcourt, I supported food-safety laboratory analysis, facility inspections, public awareness campaigns, and regulatory documentation.

I bring practical strengths in community engagement, research support, program coordination, reporting, and public health communication.
