01 — Biography & Professional Profile

My professional journey has taken me through different communication environments, from broadcast media and academic research to customer service, virtual assistance and classroom teaching. While these roles are different, communication has remained at the centre of each one; whether I am researching information, writing and presenting content, responding to people, explaining ideas or helping to solve a problem.

Professional Background

My experience in broadcast media includes work with IKD 106.1 FM, Eko 89.7 FM and LASU Radio 95.7 FM, where I gained practical experience in news writing, radio programme content, interviews, live caller interaction, information gathering and social advocacy content.

My research experience at Landmark University introduced me to the process behind academic and empirical work, including literature reviews, data collection, analysis, research documentation and presenting findings. This has continued to influence how I approach communication, with attention to evidence, context and the audience receiving the information.

Outside media and research, I have also worked in customer service and virtual assistance, where I developed experience in responding to enquiries, resolving problems, handling information, coordinating tasks and communicating professionally with different people. During my National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) deployment, I also taught senior secondary students, further developing my ability to explain ideas clearly, engage different audiences and adapt my communication to different needs.

Research & Intellectual Interests

My academic work and research interests explore how communication, media and technology shape the way people understand information and engage with important issues. My work has included climate change communication, digital media, TikTok, pro-environmental behaviour, AI and journalism, algorithms and news content, and environmental communication. I am also interested in health communication, science communication and education, particularly how complex information can be communicated clearly to different audiences.

I am interested in the relationship between people, information, media and technology; and in how communication can make important ideas more understandable, relevant and meaningful.
