I'm a pharmacoepidemiologist with the Canadian Network for Observational Drug Effect Studies (CNODES) and a doctoral researcher in Epidemiology at McGill University. I trained as a pharmacist in Nigeria, earned my MPH at the University of Glasgow as a Chevening Scholar, and now use real-world data to understand how medicines perform for the people who take them.
