At GREATNESS IN SIMPLICITY INITIATIVE, I coordinate outreach, scholarships, and mentorship to help bridge educational gaps for underprivileged students. I also organize workshops and awareness campaigns that support students’ academic and personal growth.

As a Health Researcher – Fulbright Research Scholar, I research factors affecting the use of AI for early breast cancer detection among health professionals in Nigeria. My work includes literature reviews, qualitative data collection, and analysis, with the aim of identifying barriers to screening and proposing AI-driven solutions.

I founded RecyConnect Initiative, a youth-led green startup addressing clean energy infrastructure, electronic waste, and community public health. I coordinated local circular-economy logistics in Ibadan to safely intercept, collect, and divert 3 tons of hazardous electronic and battery component waste from informal dumping sites within 12 months.

My other work includes research and advocacy on sickle cell awareness and genetic health through the Genowise Project, as well as community environmental awareness. I’m studying Nursing Science at the University of Ibadan and Data Science at the University of Applied Science, Berlin, with both degrees expected in 2028.
