I am passionate about education, personal development, and mental health advocacy, particularly in underserved communities. Growing up in Mushin, I’ve seen how limited access to education can affect someone’s opportunities in life. This has fueled my desire to create initiatives like The SkillUp Initiative, which equips young people with basic digital and IT skills. Education is not just about academic learning—it is a tool for empowerment, and I believe it is key to breaking the cycle of poverty in communities like mine. Additionally, mental health advocacy is an integral part of my work. As the founder of Students’ Mental Health Advocates (SMA) at the University of Lagos, I strive to raise awareness about mental health issues and create safe spaces for students to seek help. I am driven by the belief that mental well-being is essential for academic and personal success, and I want to ensure that no one is held back because of mental health challenges.

I’m passionate about empowering students to see their potential through the lens of their gifted abilities and learning differences. I had the privilege of founding and coaching a robotics team for students with learning differences, where for the past nine years we’ve been invited to present at the FIRST World Championship Robotics Conference. There, we shared our students’ success stories and advocated for inclusive STEAM education in robotics and technology. Witnessing students turn what were once perceived as weaknesses into their greatest strengths continues to inspire me every day. My work with students has been recognized by Forbes Magazine, the Chicago Sun-Times, WGN, CBS, FIRST, Star Wars (including Daisy Ridley), TEDx, Amazon Future Engineer, the U.S. Department of Education, the Illinois State Board of Education, the National Science Foundation, and more.
