I was born and raised in Lagos, Nigeria but moved to the US for college. A few years ago, I decided to ditch my lifelong goal of going to medical school to pursue a PhD instead, and I’m loving it so far! Outside of lab, I’m almost always watching or doing gymnastics (badly), learning American Sign Language, or eating Korean food with friends.
