Bio

Hi everyone! Excited to meet you! I am Chizoma or Chizo and I am an MBA candidate at Duke University's Fuqua School of Business. My academic expertise is in Neuroscience, which I received my degree in from the University of Notre Dame. I have always had a passion for both Neuroscience and Healthcare, but decided to pursue the Healthcare Consulting route post undergrad. I spent 7 years driving sustainable change in the Healthcare Strategy and Technology before transiting to business school. My passion will always be in healthcare and neuroscience, and business is allowing me to expand my knowledge to make greater impact in those areas. My hobbies outside of mentorship are traveling, shopping, helping people transition into tech, and fashion styling. I also hope to start my own perfume line in the coming years. I come from a large close family so I also enjoy making new memories with my family.

Project ideas

Project ideas are meant to help inspire student thinking about their own project. Students are in the driver seat of their research and are free to use any or none of the ideas shared by their mentors.

Impacts of Early Life Stressors on Neurodevelopment

This project is intended to help students explore the underlying impacts of early life stressors on neurodevelopment. It requires research of current and past publications in the area of neurodevelopment as well as to understand neurodevelopment. Students will gain skills in online researching, critical analysis, problem solving, and scientific writing. The outcome of this will be. scientific research paper or essay about the findings.

Teaching experience

I have previously mentored high school students interesting in transitioning into STEM. I have also tutored various subjects such as math, biology, chemistry, etc. I created a consulting course that I then taught with a team under me across 4 HBCUs.
