When asked about the directors she has worked with, the actress said, “The first director I worked with at the start of my career was Desmond Elliot. I met Desmond during a production happening in the estate I was residing in, in Lagos, and I spoke to him about auditioning for a role in an upcoming project. One day, he called to say there was a small role in an upcoming production, and I landed the role. My career picked up from there.”
