INFORMATION MANAGEMENT TECHNOLOGY COMMUNICATION PUBLIC POLICY
I turn information into evidence, and evidence into clear public communication. A Master’s-trained information manager with over eight years across policy research, digital operations, media and development programmes, working in English and Hausa.

PROFILE
My work sits where information systems, public policy and communication meet, turning complex material into decisions people can act on.
I hold a Master’s in Information Management and have spent eight years in legislative research, digital operations, media, language technology and development programmes. I am drawn to problems where evidence is plentiful but hard to use, and I work in English and Hausa to reach audiences that global conversations often miss.
