What I'm looking for

I seek project- or research-focused roles where I can lead field data collection, participant engagement, and reporting in collaborative, impact-driven teams.

I am a sociologist and project manager with expertise in research intelligence, human resources and field data collection, holding a Second Class Upper BSc in Sociology. I have managed location-based and remote research projects across Nigeria, supervising participant recruitment, training, compliance and reporting.

I have hands-on experience using mobile data-collection tools (KoboCollect, Stax), project management and collaboration platforms (Asana, Jira, Monday.com, Trello, Google Workspace, Teams), and generating timely analytical reports for government and private-sector studies. I onboard and support participants, troubleshoot field issues, and maintain data quality under tight timelines.

I deliver organized project workflows, clear communication, and attention to detail to ensure research integrity and actionable insights for stakeholders. I seek roles where I can apply my combined skills in project coordination, research management and HR support to drive social and programmatic impact.
