I
was born in Nigeria, then lived for a short while in London and
then the United States.
I believe it's
safe to say that I have gotten a good mix of culture throughout
my life's schooling. I did my undergrad education here at Mines
in Electrical Engineering and I'm now currently pursuing a master's
degree in Petroleum Engineering.
I remember as
a kid, I wanted to be a pilot, a doctor, an astronaut but as time
went on, I developed a talent for circuits and programming. As I
developed this "second-nature" in creating algorithm and
interest in electronics, I leaned towards electrical engineering.
I went into
industry for about a year but contemplated my return for a graduate
degree.

For a while, I had also developed an interest in oil and gas exploration
and production. Nigeria is blessed with many natural resources,
a majority of which is crude oil reservoirs. With so much opporunity
in starting an oil company back in Nigeria, I felt compelled to
study petroleum engineering. The more I get involved with the subject,
the more my interest and excitement about my career grows.
In addition, it really does help to get my degree from a department
that's world-reknown in the subject. Having a very marketable degree
in what I'm studying was a major factor in picking CSM for my grad
school education. There's a much more "close-knit" group
of professors with great understanding and talent for the material
they teach. From world-reknown professors to incredible connection
and ties with major players in the industry, the program has bridged
the gap from education to professional development and job placement.
However, my
interests don't end in the classroom. I enjoy playing sports and
most of all, studying and making music. Creating and producing tracks
for various artists has been my passion and served as relief from
any educational/family stress.
My future goals
include venturiung into the oil and gas business in Nigeria and
maybe some day, own a US based music production company.
