She joined the services of the University of Calabar on the 14th of August, 2001 and has risen to the rank of Senior Lecturer. She is a member of several learned societies namely: Nigerian Society for Microbiology (NSM), American Society for Microbiology (ASM), Mycological Society of Nigeria (MYCOSON), Biopesticides Society of Nigeria (BpSN) and Nigeria Environmental Society (NES). She has supervised over seventy one (71) undergraduate research projects, seven M.Sc (7) and co-supervised three (3) Ph.D students. She has also held several positions of responsibilities such as Assistant Examination Officer, Examinations Officer, Departmental Seminar Co-ordinator, Assistant Secretary and Vice-Chairman of NES – Cross River State chapter. She is currently the sitting Head of Department of Microbiology. She has published about 34 scholarly articles in peer – reviewed journals. Her research interest is in the area of antibiotic resistance, efficacy of medicinal plants against microbial pathogens. She has attended conferences within and outside Nigeria.
