Christabel, received a Bachelor’s degree in Physics Education at the University of Jos. Christabel has taught people of all ages, from preschool kids to adults. She interned at a low income high school, where she saw the need for a better educational system that stewards talents for innovation and development.

Christabel’s career in education greatly defines her goals. She hopes to play a key role in decision and policy making in Nigeria’s educational system, to incorporate methods of teaching and learning that make learning science enjoyable. Christabel also looks forward to participating in a system that advocates for equality in education regardless of class or social group. Christabel is very excited about coming to UBC, Vancouver because she believes it is another big step towards reaching her goals.
