Education
2020 - Present
Portland State University
Major; BS Economics
My journey to Portland State University was truly one of finding myself and trusting the process. Having fears of how I was going to pay my tuition fees, I spent my entire Winter break writing essays, applying for scholarships. In the end my hard work and determination paid off when I was awarded the Diversity Scholarship. I am excited to complete my last year and half at PSU, and I remain eager to see what the future holds for me.
2017 - 2020
Portland Community College
Straight out of high school as an 18 year-old, I moved from Nigeria to Portland, Oregon in order to further my education. I began my college years at Portland Community College, hoping to save cost while I completed my General Education courses. Finding myself in a classroom and often times being one of the youngest students in the room, my time at PCC taught me to truly focus on my own race in life. Going at my own pace, and not rushing to get to a certain stage because society might make it seem like that is where I should be. I learned to be persistent and truly learned the act of being patient.
