What I'm looking for

Seeking international opportunities for research and professional development in nutrition and public health.

I am a dedicated lecturer and researcher specializing in Public Health Nutrition, with a strong focus on nutrition assessment, education, and intervention. My academic journey includes a PhD from the University of Ibadan, where I also obtained my MSc and BSc. My research centers on dietary patterns, obesity, and maternal-child health, with 16 peer-reviewed publications and numerous conference presentations.

As a Lecturer II at Osun State University, I have taught various courses in Human Nutrition and Dietetics, supervised 25 undergraduate and 5 MSc projects, and engaged in community outreach programs. My professional affiliations include the American Society for Nutrition and the Nutrition Society of Nigeria.

I am passionate about empowering individuals and communities through evidence-based nutrition guidance, fostering critical thinking in students, and contributing to public health initiatives. My work emphasizes culturally appropriate nutrition interventions to improve health outcomes.
