I hold a Peace and Conflict Studies doctorate from the University of Ibadan, Nigeria, where I also teach in the Department of Peace, Security and Humanitarian Studies. My research interest lies at the crossroad of gender, electoral politics, and structural violence.

My doctoral thesis focused on the impact of women’s representation in legislative policymaking, in selected sub-national assemblies in southwest Nigeria. This study, among others, identified that constituency services carried out by female representatives revealed their policy preferences for health, education, women empowerment, and financial support for widows and the elderly. From 2022 to 2024, I was a lecturer at Bamidele Olumilua University of Education, Ikere-Ekiti, Ekiti State, Nigeria. I am also a postdoctoral laureate of the Fondation Maison des Sciences de l'Homme 2024 Atlas programme at Les Afriques dans le monde (LAM), Sciences Po, Bordeaux, France.
