What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to combine my creative skills with teaching, fostering growth in students while pursuing storytelling.

I am a versatile writer, actor, filmmaker, and video editor with extensive experience in the film industry, particularly in Kwara State. My journey in the creative arts has allowed me to contribute to various projects, serving as a continuity manager, scriptwriter, and actor. I take pride in my ability to pay attention to detail, ensuring that every aspect of a production is executed flawlessly. My passion for storytelling is evident in the numerous scripts I have written, and I am always eager to collaborate with like-minded individuals to bring compelling narratives to life.

In addition to my work in film, I am a dedicated teacher who believes in nurturing the potential of young minds. I have taught English language and its components to primary school students, fostering their love for learning through engaging activities like Spelling Bee competitions. My commitment to education extends beyond the classroom, as I actively revived the Drama club at my school, encouraging students to express themselves creatively through video projects. I am driven by the principles of discipline, loyalty, and honesty, and I thrive in team environments where collaboration and creativity are valued.
