Columbia,MD

Summary

I am a Nigerian-American woman, born in Columbia, Maryland but raised in Kernersville, North Carolina. I come from a very close knit family, who prioritize hard work, resiliency, honesty and the importance of being a team player. As a former, highly competitive athlete, I know the importance of applying those four qualities to my personal and professional life; which I feel have greatly assisted me in my success within the area of work I am in. I am a lover of animals, and am passionate about the empowerment of women. I am driven, consistent and have exceptional communication skills, as well as a keen eye for detail. My decision making skills and ability to adapt to any environment are some of my greatest strengths.
