What I'm looking for

I'm looking for opportunities to apply clinical nutrition, counseling, health education, and community outreach experience to promote healthier lifestyles and improve community well-being through evidence-based practice.

I'm currently a Nutritionist at Victory Drugs, where I counsel clients managing obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and other diet-related conditions. I create personalized meal plans, conduct nutrition assessments, and monitor progress through follow-up consultations.

I also support community health outreach through blood pressure and blood glucose screenings, nutrition education, and health-promotion materials. As a Red Cross member, I've contributed to first-aid programs, public-health campaigns, and initiatives supporting children and people with visual impairments.

I've delivered interactive nutrition education to more than 300 primary school pupils at UPE School and Citadel Primary School, and provided health checks and counseling during outreach visits with the Nigerian Police Festac. At Babcock University, I worked with a multidisciplinary team to deliver screenings, lifestyle counseling, and individualized dietary guidance.

My clinical foundation includes dietetics internships at National Hospital Abuja and Neuropsychiatric Hospital Oshodi, alongside food-service experience at Bracha Experience. I hold a BSc in Nutrition and Dietetics and completed research evaluating gluten-free bread made from rice, yellow cassava, sorghum, and whey protein.
