Instructor

A result-oriented professional with demonstrated experience in project management and implementation, planning, research, community development, and capacity building with excellent interpersonal and leadership skills. Proactive, diligent, and organized with the ability to develop solutions to complex problems.

I founded TeachTheChild Initiative while in North-Eastern Nigeria to provide learning opportunities for out-of-school children affected by the Boko Haram insurgency, which had brought education activities in the region to a halt, jeopardizing the education of over 1 million+ children.

I am inclined to conducting research and working on projects allowing me to contribute towards shedding light on disadvantaged communities and advancing development policies. I want to further my impact on the global effort to see nations develop and have equal access to the necessities of life, especially as I work towards growing daily in my career.

I look forward to meeting you.
