About Me

Hi, I'm a Nigerian-born, UK-raised, US- trained, Toronto resident. 

I am an award-winning writer (National Press Club of America) and have been published in more than 20 global publications.

My writing experience spans journalism, marketing communications and both B2C and B2B content and copywriting. 

This means I have the rare ability to produce editorial, promotional and persuasive content. 

Other previous work and business experience includes founding and running a social enterprise supporting creative entrepreneurs; starting a Hip-Hop themed sandwich shop and producing reality shows. 

I am a continuous student of copywriting and marketing so that I can bring the best to clients.

In terms of academic education, I hold a B.A. and M.A. in History from University of Oxford, M.A. in Magazine Journalism from Syracuse University and a Post-Graduate Diploma in Publishing from the University of the Arts, London.

I am a proud mum of two and in my spare time I dance, read, watch crap TV and find any excuse to eat out.
