you share a bit about your educational and professional background?
I went to the University of Manchester in the United Kingdom. After university, I pursued a career in communications. So, my educational background is primarily in the areas of public relations and digital marketing. I worked as a public relations/communications consultant in the UK, and then I moved to Nigeria in 2014. In Nigeria, I did the National Youth Service Corps programme first and while I was doing that, I worked at Women in Management, Business and Public Service, a non-governmental organisation based in Lagos. After that, I moved to a communications consultancy called Hill+Knowlton Strategies. I then started working at an investment bank within the communications/digital marketing team.
