College: The University of Maryland Eastern Shore – BS, Computer Science

About Me: I was born in Lagos, Nigeria, but grew up in a small town in Maryland called Salisbury. Despite living in the United States all of my life, my family and Nigerian culture is a big part of my life. My parents always made sure my younger sister and I understood the importance of hard work, and discipline.
I was the 1st winner of the Cisco Regional Sales Competition at my school, which landed me a spot in the World Wide Sales internship in the summer of 2016. That internship gave me a deep passion for sales, and changed the course of my professional future. After the internship, I accepted an offer to join the CSAP program, and haven’t looked back. I’m very excited to see what the future holds, and look forward to an exciting journey here at Cisco.

Personal Interests
Sports/Sports Writing: I have always had a passion for sports since I was young. Basketball, Soccer, Tennis, and Football are the sports that I love the most. Earlier this year, I got the opportunity to write for Hoops Nation, which is a growing social media platform. Sports Writing is definitely something I see myself doing for the foreseeable future.
Drumming: My first love. Drumming has been a part of my life since I was 10 years old. I’ve drummed in churches for over ten years now!
