Tell us about yourself and your journey to postgraduate study.

I am Nigerian by birth, but currently have been in Antigua for a year plus studying Medicine. I first didn’t want to pursue a postgraduate degree as I had medicine on my mind. But half way through I found myself at a crossroad of two options, so I decided to differ into a postgraduate degree however given my love for health it still didn’t scare so far from my idea. And I found that the degree I chose actually might just be the starting point of a new journey which might just what I needed.

I am not much an ace in talking about myself but I am one curious being (not in a bad way), I mean I like exploring new things, traveling, there are times I may forget myself in a book.
