A Journey Across Borders:
Welcome to my page!
From an early age, I realized that healing goes beyond physical health—it requires genuine empathy, understanding, and connection. Growing up in a multilingual environment, I learned the power of language as a bridge to understanding emotions, fears, and aspirations. Today, my fluency in English, Russian, Ukrainian, Yoruba, Pidgin, Hausa, and Spanish (beginner) is one of the tools I use to make patients feel seen, heard, and understood.
Throughout my career, I have remained curious about the intersection of mental and physical health. My personal experiences navigating mental health difficulties at a young age, under the weight of profound stigma and Black Tax ignited my passion to combat stigma and advocate for those whose voices often go unheard. As a lifelong learner, I remain curious about how mental health care can be personalized to meet the unique needs of individuals across the lifespan—from helping children build emotional resilience to supporting older adults through life transitions.
Beyond the hospital walls, I founded Scholar Support Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to empowering students who face mental health stigmas, financial challenges, lack of mentorship, and educational barriers. Together, we have worked with students in Nigeria, Kenya, and the United States, providing the resources and support they need to thrive despite obstacles. Our goal is simple: help students overcome adversity and pursue their dreams. We believe that every young mind has the potential to shine when given the right opportunities—and we are honored to play a small part in their journeys.
Finding Balance Beyond Medicine
Psychiatry is my passion and I believe in the importance of maintaining balance and joy in life. When I’m not in my white coat, you’ll likely find me:
- Participating in charity events
- Photography
- Spending quality time with family & friends
- Experimenting in the kitchen and trying new recipes.
These moments help me stay grounded & refreshed, ensuring that I bring my best self to every patient interaction.
