What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters academic growth and research collaboration.

I am a dedicated doctoral student at the University of Vaasa, specializing in mathematics with a focus on financial mathematics. My academic journey has been marked by a strong commitment to research, evidenced by my master's thesis analyzing the Nigerian Naira exchange rates against major currencies. With a first-class honors degree in Mathematics Education, I have cultivated a robust foundation in both theoretical and applied mathematics.

Throughout my career, I have gained extensive teaching experience, having served as a Mathematics Teacher and Assistant Lecturer at reputable institutions in Nigeria. My responsibilities included planning lessons, supervising undergraduate research, and conducting seminars. I have also contributed to the academic community through peer-reviewed publications and conference presentations, showcasing my research on various mathematical topics. I am passionate about mentoring students and promoting research initiatives that leverage statistical and mathematical software for data analysis.
