What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role that allows me to leverage my writing skills and sociological insights to create impactful content while contributing to meaningful social change.

I am a dedicated sociologist and content writer with a strong academic background and practical experience in creating engaging content. Currently pursuing my Bachelor of Science in Sociology and Anthropology at Obafemi Awolowo University, I have maintained a CGPA of 4.43/5.0, reflecting my commitment to excellence. My journey has been marked by significant achievements, including being recognized as the best 200-level student in my department and actively participating in various academic conferences.

As a freelance content writer since 2020, I have successfully crafted compelling blog articles and social media content that have enhanced brand visibility and engagement for my clients. My ability to leverage critical thinking and thorough audience research has consistently driven results, whether raising funds for NGOs or producing content that resonates with diverse audiences. My internship experience at Inside OAU Innovations further honed my skills in producing engaging content tailored to the university community, while my involvement in research initiatives has equipped me with a solid foundation in academic writing and research methodologies.
