Mariah Kosuowei

Mariah Kosuowei is a Biomedical Engineering undergraduate who runs DACTION’s public-facing voice: social media, campaign storytelling, press, and keeping the organization’s messaging consistent across platforms.

Her technical interests center on genomics, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine, with a focus on cellular mechanics and how tissues respond during the development of hereditary diseases and genetic disorders. She is currently finalizing HSE Level 1, 2, and 3 certifications, trained under British International Safety Organisation standards, extending her advocacy into professional and industrial safety practice. She served as Assistant Welfare Director of the Association of Professional Women Engineers of Nigeria (APWEN), ABUAD Collegiate, for the 2025/2026 term.

At the core of her work is a belief that health and environment are inseparable, true human health cannot exist without a healthy, balanced environment. She's drawn to the fact that marginalized and impoverished communities face significantly higher disease risk from environmental factors, and is committed to addressing those socio-environmental health disparities through technical awareness, community leadership, and strategic communication.

Mariah is deeply engaged with the creative arts: dance and music, fibre arts like crochet, knitting, and sewing, and digital illustration and visual design. That love of aesthetics and hands-on creation balances her technical work and feeds an innovative, well-rounded approach to everything she does.
