ABOUT ME
I am a Nigerian researcher and strategist with 6+ years of experience translating complex ideas into policy, programs, and impactful communications.
My work sits at the intersection of political research, strategic communications, and program management with a particular focus on governance, institutional legitimacy, and how organizations construct their narratives.
I am currently completing a Master's degree examining how digital platforms reorganize political identity and belonging through research that engages the direct implications for how institutions think about diaspora engagement and the future of governance.
Alongside my research, I co-founded Nzonzi which is a platform built to mobilize African intelligence so that it can inform the private and public sphere.
My background spans nonprofit program management, policy and academic research, higher education, and strategic communications. What connects it all is a consistent orientation toward one question:
How do you turn intelligence into action?
If you need research that reaches people or someone who can think and execute at the same time, I'd love to connect.
