What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a role where I can use research, program management, stakeholder engagement, and operations skills to deliver high-impact results, organizational excellence, and societal progress.

I've supported Nigeria's Member and Chair of the UN Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women, contributing to research on National Gender Machineries and Nigeria's third National Action Plan on Women, Peace and Security.

I facilitate training and capacity-building initiatives on women's security, gender-responsive budgeting, Women Empowerment Principles, and gender-responsive procurement. I also contributed to Nigeria's draft Affirmative Procurement Policy.

At Women Arise Development & Humanitarian Initiative, I supported program management, training, research, and multi-stakeholder dialogue on trade and women's empowerment under the AfCFTA. My work has also included GBV data-management training support, WMSME retail-incubation activities, webinar delivery, and partner coordination.

I'm motivated by research, inclusive programming, customer engagement, and community action that advance gender equality, peace, and societal progress.
