Biographie / Biography: I hold a Bachelor of Science in Estate Management from the University of Nigeria, Enugu Campus. My academic training provided grounding in spatial systems, resource valuation, and institutional frameworks for managing built and cultural environments. While my formal background is in estate management, my professional trajectory has evolved toward cultural resource communication and digital heritage systems. This interdisciplinary transition enables me to approach heritage not only as memory and narrative, but as infrastructure — shaped by systems, governance, value, and sustainability.
Centre for Memories (Ncheta Ndigbo), Enugu, Nigeria — a heritage institution committed to preserving and interpreting Igbo history, memory, and Indigenous knowledge through archival initiatives, exhibitions, community dialogues, and digital engagement strategies.
I currently serve as Digital Heritage Communications Lead at the Centre for Memories (Ncheta Ndigbo), Enugu — a cultural heritage institution dedicated to preserving and interpreting Igbo history and Indigenous knowledge systems. My role involves designing and executing digital storytelling strategies that translate archival materials, oral histories, festivals, and public dialogues into accessible multimedia narratives.
I oversee content architecture across platforms including Facebook, X, Instagram, and YouTube, ensuring that cultural narratives are communicated with contextual depth and visual integrity. I manage live documentation of exhibitions and public programmes, coordinate multimedia teams, and analyse engagement metrics to optimise knowledge circulation in digital spaces.
Through my work, I explore how digital infrastructures shape the visibility, accessibility, and sustainability of Indigenous knowledge. My professional practice bridges heritage institutions and contemporary digital ecosystems, positioning cultural memory within broader creative and knowledge economies.
