About Me

I was born in Nigeria and moved to Canada when I was four. Whether it was through starting up an organization to help new immigrant females, or sitting on the board of various organizations; my parents always put an emphasis on giving back to the community. In high school I wanted to be a lawyer, and enrolled in a Political Science undergraduate program with the hopes of getting into law school afterwards. I ended up falling in love with international relations, and turned my focus on international development. From there I became a student of an International Development post-graduate program, which led me to this wonderful opportunity with Youth Challenge International. On a more personal side I love discussing current events and politics and if no one stops me I will talk for ages. Although I enjoy watching sports I much prefer to be out on the field playing them then stuck behind a screen. I am very excited for my first trip back to Africa since I first came to Canada, and cannot wait to meet new people and learn as much from them as possible.
