Education: |
My educational pursuit reflects the my commitment to personal development as the foundation for my mission of impacting groups, organisations and society. I set out to study sociology at the University of Calabar, where I obtained BSc, MSc and PhD, with specialization in Development Studies.
Thereafter, I proceeded to study MSc in Risk, Crisis and Disaster Management at the University of Leicester, UK given my interest in expanding the scope of service delivery in risk management. I further obtained Post-Graduate Certificate in Operational Risk at the Middlesex University, UK to strengthen my focus on organizational resilience and enterprise risk management.
In the course of my professional engagements, I realized that I was offering support to my team at a personal level and thus decided to deepen my skill set around mentoring and coaching in a higher professional level and proceeded to study psychology (University Certificate in Psychology) at University of Derby, then completed a Masters in Psychology (Distinction) at University of Roehampton, followed by a specialist Masters degree in Organizational Psychology at University of London, all in the United Kingdom. I also studied and obtained the professional certificate in Evidence-based management from the Center for Evidence Based Management/Carnegie Mellon University.
I am currently completing Level 5 Diploma in Human Resources with the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD), with the target date being January, 2022.
I am a member of several professional bodies, including the British Psychological Society, Institute of Risk Management, Security Institute (UK), Association for Business Psychology, etc.
