She has always wanted to be an actor ever since her secondary school days but didn't realise how much training it requires else she would have started taking classes more earlier. After she attended her first audition, she immediately realised this is what she would want to do for the rest of her life and started training herself gradually and with every opportunity she gets; and thereby developed her acting skills. She began to take small roles in theatre productions where she started to learn on the job and took some Skills Acquisition Programme for Acting and Characterisation, Voice Over and Voice Acting. She says that the immense support she gets from family and friends also keeps her going.
In 2012 she auditioned for an acting reality show and was part of the top 5 contestants from Nigeria to participate in 'The Spirited Actor' The next African Hollywood Star and got groomed in Acting Training in the USA. She also takes part n Ifeoma Fafunwa Productions 'Acting Training and Coaching'
