What I'm looking for

I am looking for roles where I can apply site supervision and annotation skills, work autonomously in a collaborative team, and grow professionally in a structured organization.

I am a Bachelor of Forestry and Wildlife graduate with Second Class Honours (Upper Division) from the University of Ilorin, combining field engineering experience with remote data annotation work. I bring practical site supervision experience coordinating construction activities and internship experience at the Forestry Research Institute of Nigeria.

I worked as a data annotator for Telus AI and Allen (remote) from 2021–2024, focusing on translation and annotation with emphasis on Yoruba, and served in teaching and leadership roles during my NYSC in Plateau State. I am comfortable working with little or no supervision and perform well in fast-paced team environments.

I seek opportunities where I can contribute to organizational growth, apply strong interpersonal and communication skills, and continue developing technical and analytical abilities while upholding high ethical standards.
