Biographie / Biography: I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Mass Communication from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (2017–2022). My academic training focused on media, communication theory, and cultural representation, with particular interest in how narratives shape public consciousness. Beyond formal education, I have completed leadership and human rights certifications through YALI Network and the Impact Field Leadership Institute. My professional growth has been shaped by immersive work in heritage institutions, broadcast journalism, and community-based cultural programming, where I have developed practical research skills in oral documentation, storytelling, and Indigenous knowledge interpretation.
I am currently the Assistant Programmes Officer at the Centre for Memories (Ncheta Ndigbo), Enugu, Nigeria— a cultural and heritage institution dedicated to documenting, preserving, and showcasing Igbo history, memory, and Indigenous knowledge systems. My role involves cultural programming, museum education, archival interpretation, and community engagement initiatives that translate intangible heritage into public scholarship.
