  • Description

    Mother Nature gives me joy
    Watching the sun rise and set, listening to leaves rustle and waves rush to shore makes my day.

    I have been traveling and exploring this world of ours since I retired from my Supply and Contracting job in 2017 after getting tired of sitting behind a desk.

    I usually combine my travels with running marathons and have run marathons in 66 countries to date.

    My first language is English and with my TOEFL certification, I am able to teach English to non - English speakers.

    I am a generally fun loving woman

  • More details about your skills

    I hold a Materials and Metallurgical Engineering Bachelors degree from University of Ife, Nigeria. A few years after that I got interested in Accounting and decided to write the Nigerian Accounting Professional Exams which has made me versatile in record keeping and accounting.
    My last job was in Shell Nigeria Exploration and Production Company from where I retired as the Team Lead of the Supply and Contracting Department. My Chartered Institute of Purchasing and Supply certification empowered me for the role.
    I am a Sunday School teacher in my local church and the love and satisfaction derived from this voluntary job made me pursue the Teaching of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) certification.
    I love life.
    I see the world as a cruise ship with every human being as a crew member meant to enjoy the cruise.
    I love Running and my nick name is Run4Fun. I have currently run 103 full marathons in 68 different countries and still counting. I have made numerous friends during my adventures and have been amazed at how diverse our world is. I am interested in learning about other cultures and learning new languages. I currently speak English and my native language, Yoruba, fluently. I am able to teach both languages. I am able to communicate in basic French and learning Spanish and Salsa dance is very high on my bucket list.
