What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead public health communication strategies, design behavior-change programs, influence policy, and manage multi-channel campaigns in a collaborative, impact-focused organization.

I am a public health communications specialist with a Master of Science in Global Disease Epidemiology and Control and a certificate in Health Management and Finance. I have five years of experience leading internal organizational communication, developing IEC materials for Nigerian audiences, and directing multi-platform social media campaigns and SMS-based risk communication for national responses such as COVID-19 and Lassa fever.

I have contributed to high-level policy and guidance development with bodies including the Nigerian Presidential Task Force for COVID-19, edited key organizational publications, and designed community intervention programs funded through grant support. I bring skills in data management, M&E, financial oversight, multimedia scripting for behavior change, and multilingual outreach in Hausa, Fula, Arabic and French.
