About

I am a dedicated and analytical agricultural professional with a strong background in farm management, agribusiness operations, and agricultural economics. With over ten years of combined experience across research, consultancy, and practical farming, I have developed expertise in crop and livestock production, sustainable agriculture, and farm system evaluation.
My career has allowed me to bridge the gap between academic research and real-world application. I have supervised and mentored student interns on farm projects, advised local farmers on sustainability and productivity, and co-authored peer-reviewed research on supply chain management and environmental efficiency. These experiences have deepened my passion for teaching and knowledge transfer, inspiring me to pursue a career in agricultural education where I can help shape the next generation of farmers and agri-professionals.
Beyond my technical expertise, I bring strong leadership, communication, and analytical skills, having worked in diverse roles across Nigeria and the UK. My work in insurance analytics and research has sharpened my data interpretation and decision-making abilities—skills I now apply in evaluating agricultural performance and promoting evidence-based teaching.
I take pride in being adaptable, collaborative, and committed to continuous professional growth. Whether managing a team on a working farm or guiding students in practical fieldwork, I strive to create an engaging and supportive learning environment rooted in innovation, sustainability, and real-world relevance.
