General Interest

General
REPRESENTING NIGERIA
Born in the United States of America, it has been her priority to commit to playing for Nigeria. "I think I have always had in my mind to commit my international future to Nigeria. It has definitely been a dream of mine to play for my country and this [being invited to the Nigerian training camp for the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo] was the opportunity to do that and I took it. It was an easy decision for me to commit to play for Nigeria because again, it's a dream of mine." (sunnewsonline.com, 01 May 2021)

FURTHER EDUCATION
In 2020 she graduated with a master's degree in higher educational leadership from Texas Christian University in the United States of America. (LinkedIn profile, 01 Mar 2021)

FUTURE PLANS
She aspires to become a coach after retiring from the sport. "Whether that's right after I'm done playing or going to administration and finding my way to it, I know in the end that's something I want to be doing." (tcu360.com, 07 Mar 2019)
