What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead early childhood programs, design parent-centered services, scale culturally rooted maternal-child products, and mentor educators in a collaborative, impact-driven organization.

I am an educator and maternal-health advocate with over a decade of teaching and administrative experience across daycare, nursery, primary, secondary, polytechnic, and university settings in Nigeria and the United Kingdom. I combine academic training in English and Education with practical parenting experience as a mother of three.

As Nigeria’s first certified babywearing consultant and founder of Appleroo Baby & Kids, I design culturally resonant baby wraps, Montessori-aligned learning environments, and parenting resources while delivering doula and lactation support. I lead curriculum development and school leadership initiatives and have held director and head-of-school roles driving quality assurance and staff development.

I am committed to blending research, entrepreneurship, and practice to improve early childhood care, parenting education, and maternal-infant wellness, and I am expanding my professional credentials in lactation and perinatal support to widen my global impact.
