What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can coordinate public health research and M&E work, strengthen health information systems with REDCap/DHIS2/KoboToolbox, and translate findings into clear technical reports for programme stakeholders and donors.

I’m a Public Health Research professional with hands-on experience coordinating multi-site TB and HIV operational research across Nigeria. I lead day-to-day study implementation while working closely with investigators, clinicians, implementing partners, and government-facing health programmes.

In my current role, I coordinate three TB and HIV projects across four health facilities, support participant recruitment and retention, and maintain data completeness through routine quality assurance. I also design digital data collection tools using REDCap and other EDC systems, and contribute to technical reporting and manuscript development.

I bring a strong focus on compliance and capacity building—supporting ICH-GCP practices, organizing technical workshops, and training healthcare workers on study protocols and digital data collection platforms. I’ve contributed to national research activities and supported grant applications that secured over $1 million in total funding.
