What I'm looking for

I seek roles combining field data collection, research support or procurement where I can apply digital data skills, ensure data quality, train staff, and support compliant procurement in mission-driven teams.

I am a results-driven data and procurement professional with broad experience in field data collection, quantitative surveys, procurement processes and transcription for health and development projects across Nigeria.

I have supported multiple donor-funded programs including work with Oxford Policy Management, Malaria Consortium, Georgetown Global Health Nigeria and national agencies, delivering survey implementation, CAPI operations, data quality assurance and procurement workflows.

My strengths include digital data administration (SurveyCTO, ODK, KoBo, REDCap), procurement cycle support (RFQ, bid evaluation, supplier selection) and training/support for frontline staff on ICT tools.

I bring strong attention to data quality, stakeholder coordination and process compliance, and I seek to apply these skills to roles that require reliable field operations, data-driven decision making and accountable procurement support.
