I’m the Founder of BukaFinder, where I’m building the FoodMap for Lagos food culture—helping people know what to eat before they go. We map and organize food spots into structured, searchable discovery, powered by community scouting and real-world knowledge, and we’re already at 250+ vendors mapped and growing weekly.

Before building BukaFinder, I grew skills across communication, revenue, and operations. As a Social Media Manager, I curated high-quality engaging content, optimized accounts with up-to-date information, engaged audiences, managed social ads, and collaborated with influencers.

I’ve also handled customer-facing and business execution roles, including Sales And Marketing Specialist work that involved sales operations, Microsoft Excel, research, and customer service. In my Shop Manager role, I supervised day-to-day business affairs, supported financial reporting and risk awareness, managed accounts, and ordered products based on consumer demand.

Earlier experience as a Financial Secretary strengthened my foundation in cashflow and planning—calculating inflow-outflow, crosschecking goods available, and coordinating hiring for different roles. With a background in Library and Information Science, I bring a structured, information-first mindset to product management, food technology, community building, and strategic growth.
