As an early career researcher, I have acquired some experience in natural product Chemistry. I recently completed my doctoral training at Universite Grenoble Alpes, France in Synthetic Organic Chemistry. My expertise includes asymmetric synthesis, purification, characterization of both racemic and enantiopure sulphur-containing compounds, which can be applied to the total synthesis of bioactive compounds using state of the art equipment. I am into continuous research in this field to discover various chiral and non-chiral compounds with potential biological activities. My expertise is also extended to molecular docking studies, multidisciplinary research where I collaborate with other researchers globally to add value to the world of knowledge. With excellent communication and listening skills and ability to work in teams with great sense of humour, I am open to collaborative research and mentorship. Reach out to me via email and let us work together.<\/p><p><strong>Positions, Scientific Appointments, and Honours<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Grantee, women in Organic Chemistry conference, Bazel, Swizerland, 2025.<\/li><li>Nominee WARESA Europe Award, 2025.<\/li><li>PhD Scholarship award (\/UGA\/TETFUND 2021-2024).<\/li><li>Finalist, poster presentation, Scientific day, EDCSV, Grenoble, France (2023).<\/li><li>UGA student ambassador GIANT (France, 2022-2023).<\/li><li>Campus France student awareness ambassador (France, 2023)<\/li><li>CBH PhD summer school grantee (France, 2022).<\/li><li>Grantee Doctoral Academy, Stellenbosch University, South Africa.
