WinnerBio
As the first daughter and first-generation college student in my African household, I’ve learned to lead with resilience, responsibility, and vision. These early experiences shaped my drive to break barriers and pursue a degree in computer science, where I’m exploring how technology, music, and AI can work together to amplify creativity and solve real-world problems. I’m passionate about making STEM more accessible—especially for girls like me. My future goal is to bridge the gender gap in education and digital literacy across Nigeria, empowering the next generation of thinkers, creators, and leaders through tech.
