I am an impact entrepreneur and STEM Activist who is dedicated to making a positive difference among underrepresented groups, particularly teenagers and youths. My journey as a changemaker started 7 years ago, and since then, I have been striving to live by my five core values: IMPACT, TECHNOLOGY, INNOVATION, SUSTAINABILITY, and DEVELOPMENT.

As the founder of ITIS 4 Development Global, a not-for-profit organization that aligns with my values, I leverage technology to provide teenagers and youths with problem-solving skills, technical skills, and leadership skills through community outreach, youth empowerment programs, STEM workshops, seminars, competitions, fellowship programs, and international challenges.
My primary aim is to encourage young people to become change makers and advocates for sustainability. With ITIS 4 Development Global, I have equipped over 800 teenagers and youths with the necessary skills to make a positive impact on their communities and the world.

My passion for social development has earned me recognition in several notable events and conferences, including the Technovation Change Maker award, where I was among the top three finalists. I am also the co-founder of Parkers Mobile Clinic, a healthcare initiative that provides healthcare services to rural communities, impacting over 15,000 people.

As a speaker, I have spoken at various events worldwide, including the COP27 conference, the Ayada Lab closing ceremony, the Micronutrient Forum, and the Technovation fundraiser event. I also mentor young change makers through the organizations I co-founded and have volunteered with Odyssey Educational Foundation, Seedbuilders Innovation Hub, and Women in Technology in Nigeria (WITIN).

I am honored to be a COP27 Youth Representative and a Social Innovation Warehouse fellow, and to have represented Nigeria as the only female for the first OIC Robotics Challenge in Uzbekistan 2019. I am also a delegate for the first youth energy summit (YSDC) happening in Atlanta 2023, I am the finalists for the Youth4Climate sparking solution’s Rome Italy 2023. Additionally, I was a finalist for the Micronutrient Forum by Sight and Life 2020, a Bayer Foundation Women Empowerment award semi-finalist 2022, a South African Ideas Festival finalist 2021, a Social Shifters Global Innovator Award recipient, a Society of Women Engineers $1000 stipend awardee to attend SHLA 2019 in the United States of America, a Technovation Student Ambassador 2020, a Women in Africa (WIA) Finalist, and a Jamil Femmes Fellow.

For me, being a leader is my greatest achievement, and I will continue to strive to make a positive impact on the world by promoting STEM education, sustainability, and social development.
