I am an epidemiologist with a strong research background in Veterinary Public Health and Preventive Medicine. My focus is on understanding AMR through epidemiological tools and applying multifaceted mitigation strategies, including stewardship, to reduce its occurrence across all stakeholder levels. Specifically, I have a keen interest in beta-lactamase epidemiology.
My academic journey spans Veterinary Medicine, Veterinary Public Health, One Health, Epidemiology, and Biostatistics, with training from both Nigeria and Canada.
I obtained my Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) in 2009 and a Master of Veterinary Science (MVSc) in Veterinary Public Health and Preventive Medicine in 2012 from the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB), Nigeria. I later completed a Ph.D. in Epidemiology with a focus on AMR at the Atlantic Veterinary College, University of Prince Edward Island (UPEI), Canada.
I am a diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Preventive Medicine (DACVPM) and currently serve as an Assistant Professor of Epidemiology at the Texas Tech University School of Veterinary Medicine in Amarillo. In May 2024, I was appointed to the Epidemiology Partnership Initiative (EPI) Advisory Board at the Texas Epidemic Public Health Institute (TEPHI), where I contribute to strengthening public health data modernization and outbreak readiness across Texas.
My work continues to be shaped by a One Health approach, with ongoing contributions to the Texas Veterinary Medical Association’s One Health Committee and other collaborative initiatives in public health, veterinary epidemiology, and AMR.
