She is conducting her scholarly research on health system strengthening in Nigeria under the advisement of Dr. Christy Gombay. She holds a double Honours Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology, Neuroscience & Behaviour and Health Studies from McMaster University, and also a certificate for the Mini MBA program in conjunction with the GMCA here at McMaster University.

Her research interests are focused on priority setting agendas, resource collaboration and ethics of human health with an emphasis on health equity (especially in low to middle income countries).
As an incoming Queen Elizabeth Scholar, she will harness the data resources, skills and networks from the McMaster Health Forum to learn more about health systems strengthening, especially at a governmental level, in a bid to improve healthcare in Nigeria and apply lessons learnt from her research globally.Other roles
