My long-term goal is to build a career in media and sports communications, where storytelling, digital media, and strategic communication shape how audiences understand sports, culture, and social issues. I am currently pursuing a Bachelor of Journalism with a major in Media Studies and a minor in Marketing at Thompson Rivers University. My interests are closely tied to football, social media, and media storytelling, particularly how teams, athletes, and events are represented and how fans engage through digital platforms. Alongside my studies, I have developed strong communication and relationship-building skills through sales roles, and strengthened my public speaking as a three-time Master of Ceremony for the Afro Caribbean Student Association (ACSA), where I was recently recognized with an award. As a Nigerian international student in Canada, I bring a global perspective and a commitment to representing diverse voices in media.
The portfolio pieces highlight key skills I have developed, including research, interviewing, storytelling, and multimedia production. A central project is a short documentary on football and Daniel Sagno’s experiences, where I conducted research, led interviews, and handled filming and editing. This work reflects TRU’s Institutional Learning Outcomes by demonstrating Connection through effective storytelling, Engagement through its focus on community and sport, and Local-to-Global by linking a local football story to broader global conversations about identity, culture, and opportunity. Overall, my portfolio shows my growth as a communicator who can combine journalism, marketing insight, and multimedia storytelling to create meaningful sports media.
