  Dukoria Environmental Laboratory

  Mar 2013 - Sept 2013

  Undergraduate Researcher

  I found analytical and forensic chemistry interesting during this time. This interest arose from my undergraduate research work at Dukoria Laboratory International as an undergraduate research intern.Under the tutelage of Professor Maxwell Iwegbue in the Metal and Organic Trace Research Group in the Department of Chemistry, DELSU 2013, I evaluated the concentration and profiles of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in Atlantic Horse Mackerel (Trachurus trachurus) fish species commonly consumed in the Niger Delta Region of Nigeria using GC-FID.This was my first independent research work with the aim of providing information on the potential threats to public health from exposure to organic pollutants via ingestion. I was fascinated by this research because it revealed that Analytical and Forensic Chemistry play an enormous role in environmental monitoring and forecasting and in solving potential risks or health hazards in society.This period was critical in my growth as it taught me how to work within a team and ways to propose, discuss, and critically evaluate ideas and research questions.

  National Youth Service Corps

  Aug 2014 - Jul 2015

  Chemistry Tutor / Cadet-In-Chief RSC-NYSC

  Apart from building strong laboratory and research skills during my undergraduate studies, I also explored my interest in teaching and community service during my national service program. I assumed the role of a Chemistry Tutor at a Government Senior Secondary School. In this role, I prepared students for the West African Senior School Certificate Examinations (WASSCE) and laboratory experiments.My efforts directly impacted the lives of the students as I got reports about their successes in the Chemistry School Certificate Examinations.During this period, I was elected as the Cadet-In-Chief in the NYSC-Road Safety Club, a community development service group saddled with the responsibility to educate motorists on road safety signs and regulations. These roles have developed my teaching competence, confidence in public speaking and my ability to lead a team. Show less
