I am a pharmacist registered in Nigeria and a health services researcher. My professional experience in the healthcare sector spans community and hospital pharmacy, medical communications, and roles in NGOs/global health organizations in Nigeria and the UK.
I hold a Bachelor of Pharmacy degree from the University of Lagos, Nigeria and an MSc in Clinical Pharmacy, International Practice and Policy from University College London. I completed my PhD degree at Glasgow Caledonian University, where my thesis was focused on the evaluation of the implementation of antibiotic review interventions in Scottish acute care hospitals.
Post PhD, between 2023 and 2024, I worked with the Aberdeen Centre for Evaluation (formerly the Health Services Research Unit) based at the University of Aberdeen, as a Research Fellow conducting process evaluations embedded within clinical trials.
I joined LSHTM in September 2024 as a Research Fellow on the mixed-method impact and implementation evaluation of Pharmacy First in England.
Alongside my research and teaching responsibilities, I serve as a Management Committee member of the LSHTM Antimicrobial Resistance Centre.
