What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters community health improvement and offers growth opportunities.

I am a dedicated public health professional currently pursuing a Master's degree in Public Health at the National Open University Nigeria. My academic background in Human Physiology, combined with my hands-on experience in various health-related roles, has equipped me with a robust understanding of health management and community healthcare. I am passionate about promoting health equity and sustainable development, particularly in underserved communities.

Throughout my career, I have held positions such as Health Worker at the Afro Centre For Development Peace and Justice, where I focus on children's growth activities and community health initiatives. My role as an Account Sales Executive at FirstBank of Nigeria Limited allowed me to develop effective client relationship management systems and conduct market research to enhance banking products. I have also served as a Human Physiologist, conducting diagnostic procedures and managing patient care, which has honed my analytical and problem-solving skills.

My commitment to health advocacy is evident through my work as a Programme Coordinator, where I implemented initiatives addressing gender-based violence and health education in rural communities. I am a strong communicator and a skilled language translator, proficient in both English and Igbo, which enables me to connect with diverse populations effectively.
