I hold a bachelor’s degree in industrial chemistry from Olabisi Onabanjo University, Nigeria, a Master of Business Administration from Stanton University in Garden Grove, California, and a Master of Arts from Western Covenant University in Los Angeles. In 2019, I expanded my expertise by obtaining licenses in Phlebotomy, Medication Technician, and Pharmacy Technician certification.
The COVID-19 pandemic sparked a new interest in researching drug abuse and addiction, leading me to write publications that have contributed significantly to the field:
– Genetic Risk Factors For Opioid Dependence (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.12546380)
– Opioid Addiction Deaths in the United States: The Socio-economic Implications (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.11093894)
– Social Determinants Of Opioid Crisis (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.12546382)
– Modelling the drug addictions and associated risk factors in California (DOI: 10.33545/26647613.2023.v5.i1a.20).
I’ve also co-authored papers on corporate communications, infant mortality rates, and taxation’s impact on economic performance with fellow researchers:
– Effective Corporate Communications as a Catalyst for Organization Profitability, Growth, and Sustainability (with Olawande)
– Infant Mortality Rate And Economic Growth In Nigeria: An Empirical Analysis (with Seun Adebanjo, Emmanuel Banchani, and Solberg Horve Mishiwo)
– Developmental Impact Of Taxation On The Economic Performance Of Selected Developed Economics Around The World (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.1161750)
Currently, I’m pursuing an Alcohol and Drug Counselor Certificate Program with the Addiction Training Institute in Georgia, aligning with IC&RC and NAADAC requirements. Also, i am a member in-training with National Association of Christian Counselors & Walk of Life Christian Counseling (NACC). My ultimate goal is to become a substance abuse counselor, empowering individuals and communities to overcome addiction.
Through my research, publications, and emerging career in substance abuse counseling, I’m committed to driving positive change and making a lasting impact in the lives of many.
