What makes you different?
I see myself as a resilient and hardworking individual, because I have learnt to challenge myself, learn from mistakes and allow myself to listen to advice and gain valuable knowledge to improve myself and keep pushing in sports, academics and life.
I believe my experience balancing sports and academics in high school and returning to track and field after two years of being away from the sport will massively help me manage the student-athlete life excellently.
Why do you want to compete in college?
I want to compete in college because it is the perfect platform for me to gain valuable education and simultaneously gain experience and the best training to become an athlete with a strong character and achieve great feats.
College Goals?
I want to maintain a high grade in college.
I want to be a valuable athlete in my college and help my teammates and school team thrive.
I want to hold the Nigerian High Jump Record.
Anything else we should know?
The reason for my three year Gap from high school was due to moving countries. I was in a university in North Cyprus from November 2021 to early 2022 for four months, before returning back to Nigeria and then moving to the UK April 2022 I've spent one year trying to adapt to my new environment I wasn't aware of the college system until later on but I engaged myself with work, online courses and training to recruitment standard in my respective events in the past year.
