What I'm looking for

I seek clinical or research roles that combine hands-on animal care, behavior and welfare work, community outreach, and opportunities for professional growth in One Health-focused teams.

I am a dedicated veterinarian with a DVM (Second Class Upper) from Michael Okpara University, skilled in small and large animal clinical care, surgery assistance, diagnostics (hematology, microbiology), preventive medicine, and community outreach. I blend research experience—studying semen characteristics and hematological parameters in rabbits—with hands-on practice across clinics, abattoirs, and farms to improve animal health and public safety.

I actively promote animal welfare through training, digital advocacy, and educational content (reaching 9,000+ viewers), and hold certifications in dog grooming, rabies/One Health, and animal handling. I prioritize lifelong learning, evidence-based interventions, and compassionate care to achieve high recovery rates and strong client education outcomes.
