What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to grow in a dynamic environment, where I can apply my engineering knowledge and customer service skills while contributing to impactful projects.

I am a dedicated and ambitious student pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering at the University of Lagos, expected to graduate in January 2027. My academic journey has been marked by a strong performance, achieving a Second Class Upper standing. I have engaged deeply with relevant courses such as Thermodynamics, Reaction Kinetics, and Plant Design, which have equipped me with a solid foundation in chemical engineering principles.

In addition to my academic pursuits, I have gained valuable work experience as a Sales Representative at Sisi Aladire Enterprises, where I honed my customer service skills by building strong relationships and providing tailored product recommendations. My role as a Personal Assistant further developed my organizational and event planning abilities, allowing me to manage schedules and coordinate various events effectively. I am also actively involved in leadership roles within the Nigerian Society of Chemical Engineers, where I serve as Financial Secretary, preparing budgets and raising funds for departmental events.
