She earned her Bachelor's degree in Education Biology from Kano University of Science and Technology, Wudil, where her interest in education and student development began. She later pursued a Master's degree in Finance & Investment at Dangote Business School, broadening her perspective with knowledge in finance, leadership, management, and business. With a background in Biology Education and a Master's degree in Finance & Investment, she brings together a passion for education, people, and personal development.

Her teaching practice gave her first-hand insight into the student experience and taught her that every student is different — with their own personality, strengths, challenges, dreams, and potential. It shaped her belief that supporting students goes beyond academics; it is also about creating a sense of belonging, listening to their voices, and giving them opportunities to grow.

Today, through Campus Life, she is passionate about creating meaningful experiences that help students connect, participate, lead, grow, and belong. Her goal is simple: to help make university a place where every student feels seen, valued, supported, and inspired to become their best self.
