I earned my associate and bachelor's degrees from Abia State Polytechnic and the University of Uyo in Nigeria. I then completed my Master's at the University of California, Berkeley. Originally from Nigeria, I enjoy traveling, exploring nature, writing poetry, trying spicy foods, and learning about different cultures.

During my Master's program at Berkeley, my research focused on how variations in speech—such as folktales, proverbs, and folk songs—shape interactions among humans, wildlife, and the natural environment. I am affiliated with the University of New Mexico at Gallup and hold an adjunct instructor position.
