I am a member of the American Medical Association as well as the American Academy of Family Physicians.

Outside of medicine, I enjoy fitness, traveling, photography, and exploring fashion and lifestyle branding. I’m also passionate about music and culture, and I love connecting with people through creative projects and social media. Cooking is another passion of mine, especially preparing traditional Nigerian cuisine, which allows me to stay connected to my roots and share my culture with others.

Alongside my medical career, I’m a very good cook—especially when it comes to Nigerian cuisine. I enjoy recreating family recipes and introducing friends to new flavors. Patients are often surprised to learn that I can go from presenting at a national sports medicine conference to whipping up a pot of jollof rice that rivals any restaurant!

I have a strong interest in hospital medicine, urgent and emergency care, and full-spectrum family medicine. I enjoy managing acute and complex inpatient conditions while also providing continuity of care in outpatient and urgent care settings. My clinical passions also include procedures, preventive medicine, and mentoring future healthcare professionals.

I have practiced across a variety of settings, including hospital medicine, urgent care, and emergency departments. My professional background includes serving as a Hospitalist at Mercyhealth Hospital and Trauma Center, as well as providing locum tenens services in emergency medicine, urgent care, and hospitalist roles. In addition, I have worked as a community preceptor, mentoring medical students and residents. My experience also extends to clinical procedures, high-acuity patient management, and research presentations at national conferences.

I come from a close-knit family of seven. My mother is a nurse practitioner, and my father is both an artist and entrepreneur. I’m the oldest of five siblings, and growing up in that role shaped my sense of responsibility and leadership. One of my younger brothers will also be joining Memorial Hospital in Carthage as a Family Medicine physician in September 2026, and I have two younger sisters as well. My family’s support and example have been a driving force in my journey into medicine.

As a physician, I see medicine as more than diagnosing and treating—it is about walking alongside patients through some of their most vulnerable moments. My background has taught me that healing begins with listening, compassion, and trust. I am passionate about bridging gaps in healthcare access, mentoring the next generation of physicians, and ensuring that every patient feels respected and empowered. My ultimate goal is to combine strong clinical skills with genuine human connection to create lasting impact in the lives of the people and communities I serve.

My journey into medicine is rooted in family and resilience. Growing up with a mother who worked tirelessly as a nurse, I witnessed firsthand the power of compassionate care. At the same time, my brother Jack, who has cerebral palsy, showed me the daily strength it takes to face challenges with courage. Those experiences instilled in me not only the value of perseverance, but also the responsibility to serve others. They inspired me to pursue medicine with a focus on empathy, advocacy, and ensuring that patients—especially those who feel unseen—know they are cared for and supported.

I am excited to join Memorial Hospital in Carthage because of the welcoming atmosphere, strong community connection, and commitment to patient-centered care. The opportunity to practice in a hospital system that values collaboration and growth is especially meaningful to me. I look forward to contributing to the community, working alongside a dedicated team, and continuing to grow as a Family Medicine physician.
