What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can improve organizations' online presence, train staff on digital tools, and apply practical IT and marketing solutions in collaborative, growth-focused environments.

I am an IT consultant and webmaster with extensive hands-on experience designing and managing websites, social media, and digital marketing campaigns for media, nonprofits, and professional services. I combine technical skills in WordPress, HTML/CSS, SEO and digital marketing with operational experience in sales, reporting, and office management.

I have delivered website builds, platform management, staff training on Google and Microsoft tools, and provided IT guidance and small-scale networking for organizations across Port Harcourt. I am results-driven, analytically minded, and committed to improving online presence and business operations through practical, cost-effective tech solutions.
