Born and raised in the Bronx, New York, and Port Harcourt, Nigeria, I saw firsthand how social determinants of health influence the quality of healthcare delivered to the community. In light of this, I earned a bachelor's degree in biology from the University at Albany, as well as a master's and doctorate from Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine. During my clinical training, I discovered that Family Medicine is the ideal setting to develop long-term connections with patients while tackling health disparities. Osteopathic manipulative medicine and preventive health are some of my other medical interests.
In my free time, I enjoy traveling with my partner. When we're not catching flights, we watch the Premier League, play soccer, or go swimming together. It brings me great joy to begin my training here and serve the Baltimore area.
