Throughout her time at FUTA, she was actively involved in various activities some of which include the Debate Club, Read to Impact Initiative, Pace Impact Initiative, and Face of Agriculture. According to Goodness, pursuing a Master’s Degree in Food and Resource Economics is a step in the right direction to pursuing her long-term objective of joining The Food and Agriculture Organization and leading a spirited team focused on increased agricultural production through harnessing the resources of rural communities in Nigeria and transforming them into revenue for the communities.
