VP Academic

I am a PhD student in Structural Engineering at the University of Alberta with over 15 years of professional experience in civil engineering, project leadership, and academic mentorship. As a Chartered Engineer and member of the Institution of Engineering and Technology (UK), I have led technical teams and supported early-career professionals through training and outreach. I previously served as Vice President of the Nigerian Institution of Civil Engineers, where I coordinated academic workshops, community development programs, and student mentoring initiatives. Currently, I serve as Vice-President Academic of the International Students’ Association (ISA), where I advocate for academic support and equity for international students. My leadership is guided by a commitment to academic excellence, collaborative problem-solving, and inclusive representation. I am passionate about making graduate education more accessible, supportive, and empowering for all students, and I look forward to continuing this work through the GSA.
