320-762-4629 | Bio
I am a first-generation immigrant from Nigeria, but I’ve called Minnesota home for over 25 years! I grew up in the suburbs of Minneapolis and graduated with a B.A. in Communication and Leadership Studies from Minnesota State University Moorhead. That is where my passion for work in higher education was born. The transition to ATCC has been one that I am grateful for because my passions align closely to what the college is doing in the field of student health and equity. I’m excited to join the team as a success coach for students of all programs.
