At the Lagos State Ministry of Health, I assisted with training health workers at five Primary Health Centres on newborn sickle cell screening protocols. I also contributed to public health outreach and community engagement activities.

At Babcock University Teaching Hospital, I delivered an HIV health talk in the local dialect during a community outreach program and supported preventive health activities.

As President of the Faculty of Basic Medical Sciences Students’ Association at Adeleke University, I coordinated a 3-day Antimicrobial Resistance Awareness Campaign. It included a public lecture attended by 700+ people and a campus-wide health talk reaching approximately 4,000.

My undergraduate research examined knowledge, perceptions, and willingness to enroll in the National Health Insurance Authority among traders in Gbagi Market, Ibadan. I graduated from Adeleke University with First Class Honours in Public Health and was named Best Graduating Student in my department.
