Hire me

I'm a biochemistry graduate (B.Sc., Second Class Honours – Upper Division; CGPA 4.02/5.00, Major GPA 4.55/5.00) from the University of Uyo, with hands-on experience in wet-lab research, phytochemical analysis, molecular biology, and quality control testing.

I'm currently a mentee at Africa Young Scientists (AYS), contributing to the biotechnology, nanomedicine, and drug delivery research groups, and previously completed a UI/UX design mentorship with Design Chic.

Leadership has been a consistent thread through my academic journey, including roles as secretary general of the Faculty of Biological Sciences (UNIUYO), special adviser to the UNIUYO student union president, special adviser on health & welfare for NSBS, and founder of the Biochemistry and You Initiative. This has been recognised through several honours, including the NSBS Trailblazer Award, Award of Excellence as Class of the Year (UNIUYO), and an Award of Honour from the Akwa Ibom Female Students Association Worldwide.

I've built on this foundation through targeted certifications spanning bioinformatics, pharmaceutical quality control, UI/UX design, and video editing, and I volunteer as a content strategist for the OncoScholar Cancer Intervention Foundation, alongside medical and chemistry outreach work with the Abrahamic Blessing Foundation and the American Chemical Society.

Alongside this scientific foundation, I bring 3+ years of experience as a social media manager and content strategist, supporting brands across skincare, real estate, food, tech, healthcare, education, and lifestyle industries; managing multiple projects, coordinating teams, and driving measurable audience growth.
