What I'm looking for

I seek a flexible work environment that enriches my skills and allows me to make a meaningful impact.

I am a creative and experienced communications professional with a strong background in strategy creation, social media management, and content development. My journey has taken me through various roles, including my current position as a Communications and Social Media Executive at Fair Justice System for Scotland, where I create compelling content and manage social media channels to enhance stakeholder engagement.

Throughout my career, I have successfully developed and implemented communications strategies for organizations such as the United Nations Development Programme and The Ventures Park in Abuja. My work has not only involved crafting engaging content but also planning and executing impactful events, managing budgets, and fostering partnerships. I am passionate about using my skills to make a difference and contribute to meaningful projects that resonate with communities.
