Projects Achievements

This achievement not only demonstrated my capacity to handle high-stakes planning and resource allocation, but also strengthened stakeholder confidence, resulting in new sponsors committing to future conferences
- I demonstrated exceptional leadership as the acting headmistress of the primary section at Covenant Victory College in 2024, where I oversaw academic administration, staff performance, and day-to-day operations. Under my leadership, the school achieved remarkable milestones—winning 1st place in a major spelling bee competition with two student representatives and earning the prestigious Best School of the Year award. These accomplishments reflect the effectiveness of my governance, the motivation I instilled in staff and students, and the overall academic excellence I helped drive.
