I am a first-generation Nigerian American with deep personal and familial ties to Maryland. When my parents first immigrated to the United States, they lived in Maryland, where much of my extended family currently lives. They later moved to Central New Jersey, where I was born and raised. Growing up in a Nigerian household, I was exposed early on to different perspectives on healthcare, which helped shape my interest in medicine. My parents instilled in me a strong foundation in my Christian faith and a strong work ethic, along with the belief that through hard work and perseverance, I can accomplish anything I set my mind to.

I attended Monmouth University, where I studied Chemistry with a minor in Biology while competing as a Division I tennis player. Through athletics, I initially became interested in Family Medicine, particularly in sports medicine and injury prevention. After college, I obtained my Master’s degree in Biomedical Science from Rutgers University and worked in various healthcare settings, including clinical research. These experiences strengthened my commitment to medicine and led me to pursue my medical education at St. George’s University School of Medicine.

During my clinical training, I trained in diverse clinical environments, which broadened my understanding of healthcare from a global health perspective and reinforced my interest in providing accessible care in resource-limited settings. I also developed a strong appreciation for Family Medicine’s emphasis on continuity of care, community engagement, addressing healthcare disparities, and building meaningful relationships across generations. With strong personal ties to Maryland, including my fiancé living in the state, I am excited to be joining the MedStar Georgetown Baltimore Family Medicine team and to serve patients in Baltimore County!

Outside of medicine, you can find me playing tennis, reading fictional books, exploring new cuisines, or traveling!
