About Me

My name is Olubukola Deborah Odedairo, I am a graduate student of English Literature and Language at St. Mary's University. I am an enthusiiastic and dedicated individual with strong academic background in Linguistics and African Languages from Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Osun state, Nigeria. From an early age, my fascination with language and communication, technology, public speaking and media has driven my academic pursuit. Through rigorous coursework and research experience, I have developed a solid foundation in public speaking, planning and administration, and PowerPoint Presentation. These experiences have not only sharpened my analytical and problem-solving skills, but have also instilled in me a deep appreciation for the importance of collaboration and mentorship in the academic settings. In 2019, I had the privilege of working as an On Air Personality at Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria, where I developed engaging and enriching content to deploy effective promotional strategies for audience loyalty, consumption and satisfaction. This experience taught me the importance of effective communication, patience, and adaptability in conveying complex structures to different individuals with varying level of understanding.
