Why do you think you make a great Schulich Leader?
Expathy is key to successful leadership. A great leader is able to relate with everyone and motivate them to do their best. I am very fortunate to be Nigerian by birth and heritage, Irish by nationality, and Canadian in my global view and beliefs. I have been exposed to various traditions, cultures, governments, and I believe my multicultural life experiences are what motivate and empower me to be personable. I want to use both my education and my life experiences to enrich and inspire others. I realize that I have opportunities that many people dream of, which is why I aspire to work with the World Health Organisation to conduct studies that impact and benefit people of all languages and cultures, so that I may lead others to realize their full potential.
