What I'm looking for

I'm looking for content writing opportunities where I can research, pitch, write, and optimise impactful stories across education, youth, public policy, health, faith, and SaaS.

I've published reported opinion pieces, personal essays, and long-form content in TheCable Nigeria, BellaNaija, Applied Worldwide Nigeria, and The Journal Nigeria.

My work covers youth unemployment, brain drain, the skills gap, public healthcare, AI literacy, identity, resilience, and life transitions. I also maintain a Medium portfolio across education, HR, health, faith, relationships, and SaaS.

I pitch original ideas, research and fact-check stories, write first drafts, self-edit, and deliver to editorial standards across multiple publications simultaneously.

I apply keyword research, on-page SEO, meta descriptions, headline optimisation, and content strategy to maximise reach and reader engagement, writing in both British and American English.
