Adept at leveraging advanced statistical analysis and ecological statistics, I enhanced decision-making at Michael Okpara University Of Agriculture, Umudike, contributing to significant research publications. My collaborative skills and self-motivation fostered effective teamwork, driving project success, blending hard and soft skills to achieve excellence in aquatic environmental research.
