About

I am a dedicated academic and environmental scientist with a strong background in microbiology and environmental science. I graduated with a BSc in Microbiology and MSc. in Environmental Resources Management both from Lagos State University, where I learned about various microbiological and environmental scientists terms and concepts. Currently, I am pursuing a PhD in Environmental Science, focusing on chemometrics, environmental chemistry, and environmental contaminants at Georgia Southern University.
Throughout my academic and professional career, I have engaged in numerous research projects. My research includes the assessment of physico-chemical parameters and heavy metal concentrations in wastewater from abattoirs in Lagos State, Nigeria. I have also worked on projects on the development of integrated wastewater treatment and pollution monitoring systems.
Professionally, I have held various roles, including as a former staff member at the University College Hospital (UCH) in Ibadan and a graduate teaching assistant. I am a God-fearing and cool person.
