About Me

I am a passionate Applied Biochemistry graduate with a relentless drive to solve complex biological problems. My expertise lies at the intersection of laboratory diagnostics, microbial research, and forensic science, where precision and analytical thinking are paramount.

With Second Class honours(Upper division) from Nnamdi Azikiwe University, I've developed a strong foundation in biochemical analysis and research methodologies. My internship at Trinity Rock Hospital provided practical experience in disease diagnosis through blood and urine analysis, while my research on crude oil-degrading bacteria has given me valuable insights into environmental microbiology.
