Education & social impact professional.
I sit at the intersection of strategy, execution, and storytelling — leading programmes, operations, and brand strategy for a non-governmental organisation in Nigeria. My work cuts across four pillars: education & digital inclusion; youth development and communications; social welfare systems; and safety & WASH systems.
It is rooted in equal measure in professional experience and formal training: a Master of Social Work from the University of Ibadan (5.50/7.0), a B.A. in Education from Obafemi Awolowo University — best graduating student of my set — two hundred working days of clinical and field placements, and published research.

I met Aanu when she came to my office to discuss the Karim Adeyemi Foundation donation of First Aid Boxes to selected schools in six LGAs in the state. The first thing I noticed about her was her energy, smile, charisma, and readiness to deliver. She's so compassionate about her work, and that is rare to see nowadays. I strongly recommend her for a greater leadership role!”
When things get out of hand and you need a way out, Aanu is the person you call. She's judgment-free, dependable, and solution-driven. Professionally, she's everything an organisation wants: results-driven, intelligent, and she carries herself with grace. I'll never forget how, through her, I secured an exclusive interview with Karim Adeyemi, the Barcelona FC forward.”
