About
A committed Housing Practitioner who arrived in the UK in January 2022 to pursue postgraduate study, completing an MA in International Business (University of Greenwich, Pass, January 2023) before immediately building a track record in the UK housing and public sector environment. Within three years of arrival, I have accumulated: a live Housing Standards role at Lewisham Council conducting real HHSRS-informed inspections; a certified practitioner qualification from RHE Global UK; and direct involvement in a registered business entity as Tender & Bid Coordinator. Before relocating to the UK, I held strategic and operational roles across Nigeria spanning human resources management, business analysis, compliance, and administration — providing a depth of transferable capability that complements my on-the-ground UK housing experience.
I am certified in HHSRS hazard identification and scoring, confident in lone-working field environments, and familiar with the enforcement landscape under the Renters' Rights Act 2026 and Awaab's Law. I can contribute meaningfully to a Private Sector Housing team from day one.
