Education

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Anatomy (University of Ilorin, Kwara State, Nigeria).

During my studies, I participated in research and academic projects, including “Cypermethrin Exacerbates Pentylenetetrazole-induced GABAergic Interneuron Loss and Neuroinflammation in the Rat Amygdala: Neuroprotection by Valproate and Vitamin E Co-therapy,” where I contributed to investigating the neurotoxic effects of cypermethrin on the rat amygdala and evaluating the neuroprotective potential of combined valproate and vitamin E treatment through laboratory research, data collection and analysis.

I continue to expand my expertise through professional certifications and ongoing learning in artificial intelligence, data analysis, CRM systems, automation and business operations.
