What I'm looking for

I seek a library or information role where I can manage digital cataloguing, enhance reference services, support patrons, and contribute to data-driven library improvements.

I am a dedicated digital librarian and library information professional with hands-on experience in cataloguing, classification, circulation and reference services across university and institutional libraries.

I have implemented bibliographic records, assigned subject headings and managed check-in/check-out workflows while collecting and analysing library usage statistics to inform reporting and decision-making.

My background includes roles as a library officer, NYSC library officer, intern and school administrator where I led clerical teams, organized collections, supported patrons and improved operational processes.

I hold an M.LIS (Library Archival and Information Studies) and professional certifications in research data management and data science toolkits; I bring strong communication, project and resource management skills and a solutions-focused leadership approach.
