What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to leverage my public health skills while contributing to impactful health initiatives and community engagement.

I am a highly motivated public health graduate with extensive experience in data analysis and health program planning. My academic background from Osun State University has equipped me with the skills necessary to contribute effectively to community health projects. I excel in analyzing health data to track disease patterns and have a strong capacity for public communication, particularly in raising awareness on health issues.

Throughout my career, I have engaged in various internships and volunteer roles, where I have honed my skills in project coordination and health education. My experience includes facilitating learning as a class teacher, assisting in health program execution, and conducting awareness programs on critical health topics. I am adept at developing clear survey questions and writing impactful reports, which have been instrumental in advocating for health initiatives in my community.
