What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters collaboration and innovation in environmental sustainability, with opportunities for growth and community impact.

I am a passionate environmental advocate and nature lover, committed to promoting sustainability through climate action and community engagement. With a degree in Geography and Environmental Sustainability, I have honed my skills in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to effectively address environmental issues.

My experience includes leading volunteer initiatives with the Plogging Nigeria Club, where I coordinate community clean-up exercises and tree planting projects. I have successfully organized awareness programs that have mobilized hundreds of youths, resulting in significant waste recovery and environmental impact. My dedication to environmental sustainability is reflected in my academic research and various certifications in GIS and environmental management.
