About me

As a Strategic Communications Expert with extensive professional and voluntary experience, I bring transferable skills and a strong commitment to creating meaningful societal impact.

Over the past decade, I have successfully developed and implemented high-impact communication strategies for initiatives funded by NHS England, GIZ, The World Bank, USAID, and the MacArthur Foundation. My academic foundation—a master’s in Communication Science and a bachelor’s in Mass Communication—has equipped me to design innovative campaigns, engage diverse stakeholders, and drive behavioural change through data-informed messaging.

I am passionate about volunteering and have supported organisations such as the International Center for Development Affairs (ICDA) and the Nigerian Economic Summit Group (NESG). At ICDA, I facilitated entrepreneurship workshops across Nigeria, providing event management and communication support to empower aspiring entrepreneurs. With NESG, I served as rapporteur for a high-level roundtable on Nigeria’s Electricity Supply Industry, documenting insights to advance evidence-based policy reforms.

With expertise in strategic communications, stakeholder engagement, event management, and digital marketing, I create meaningful impact in both professional and voluntary roles. Volunteering enables me to give back, share my skills, and collaborate with others to empower individuals, strengthen communities, and drive positive change.

What am I looking for

I am passionate about volunteering opportunities that advance societal wellbeing, foster innovation, and drive meaningful change. I am particularly drawn to roles in strategic communications, focusing on sustainability, community development, public health, social justice, and education.

I thrive in initiatives that involve designing communication strategies, outreach campaigns, event management, and stakeholder engagement to promote behavioural change. Key causes I support and am interested in include public health, education, clean energy, and data and digital literacy.
