At The 21 Magazine, I set editorial direction and standards, edit contributor work for clarity and accuracy, and write research-driven features on women’s issues, lifestyle, community and human-interest topics.

Previously, I researched, fact-checked and published entertainment stories at 69 Entertainment Limited, and analyzed social engagement and audience behavior at Inspiration FM, Ibadan. My MSc in Microbiology supports my work assessing scientific and technical content.
