What I'm looking for

I am looking for research or field roles in forestry/wildlife that leverage biometric and geospatial skills, offer collaborative teams, hands-on data collection, and opportunities for professional growth.

I am a dedicated Forestry and Wildlife professional with hands-on experience in forest mensuration, biometric data collection, and data analysis. I have worked on projects measuring tree growth, mortality, biomass, and carbon sequestration and contributed to research at the Federal Research Institute of Nigeria.

I combine strong organizational, time-management, and communication skills with practical field and laboratory experience. My background includes roles in research data gathering, quality inspection in production environments, and customer-facing responsibilities that strengthened my attention to detail and teamwork.

I am pursuing an M.Sc. in Forestry and Wildlife Management and have published work on geospatial landscape management. I seek to apply my technical and analytical skills to contribute to forestry research, sustainable management, and organizational success.
