I am a doctoral-level student with research interests at the intersection of global health and anthropology. Specifically, I seek to explore, through relational ethnography, the processual nature of medical humanitarianism and its inherent valuation struggles—asking questions such as what should be prioritized in the allocation of resources and care during emergencies.

Before coming to Rice University, I obtained my bachelor's degree in sociology & anthropology (double majors) at the University of Nigeria; and a master’s degree in global health from the National Taiwan University where I explored the burdens of psychosocial health on infectious diseases’ survivors.

I have committed nearly a decade working with different institutional and non-profits such as the WHO, UNAIDS, fhi 360, Catholic Relief Services, the University of Maryland, etc., on global health issues such as HIV/AIDS, malaria, viral hepatitis, vaccines safety, and COVID-19, across Africa, Southeast Asia, and Latin America. My previous research publications have appeared in Qualitative Health Research and AIDS Care journals.

Amongst other lively adventures, I love opera, classical music, and English football.
