I’m a third-year Ph.D. student in Comparative Literature and Intercultural Studies. I hold a bachelor's in Yoruba and Communication Arts and master's  in Yorùbá Literature and Culture from Lagos State University. My research focuses on translating and amplifying women’s works in Yoruba literature and making African literature more accessible through digitization.

Currently, I’m co-authoring a chapter on early written Yoruba literature for African Literatures in Transition (Cambridge University Press). 

Earlier this year, I was recognized for my academic excellence by the African Language Teachers Association and UGA’s Office of Instruction.

I teach elementary and intermediate Yoruba and previously taught Multicultural Black Diaspora Literature. I’ve helped expand the Yoruba program at UGA, and I’m committed to fostering cultural immersion and critical thinking in my students.

I’ve served as treasurer of the Comparative Literature Association and I'm a co-editor for the Yoruba section at Global Voices and run Alámọ̀já Yorùbá, an online Yoruba language school.
