An alumnus of the prestigious University of Lagos, Adejoke went ahead to obtain a degree in Estate Management and a Masters in Public and International Affairs.

She excelled in her many roles as a valuer, facility manager, and arbitrator in property disputes.
A chance attendance of “She Leads Africa’s SlayFestival of 2017 helped her realize there were other women just as passionate as she about women empowerment and child welfare.
