Tobi bagged a masters degree from the University of Nottingham, UK. In a chat with Legit.ng, Tobi said:
"I'm Tobi, a Mathematician working in Finance as a Quant. I'm also a social content creator. My educational journey spans a first degree in Mathematics from Babcock University, I worked in Tech for 2 years and moved to the UK in 2022 to pursue a Master in Financial Mathematics from the University of Nottingham. I graduated in December 2023."
On how she came to love mathematics to the extent of pursuing a masters degree in it, Tobi said she had always liked the subject right from her secondary school days.
Her words:
"I joined my Secondary school's Math Club when I was in SSS3. That was 8 years ago so I've had a long relationship with Mathematics. Of course, as you'd imagine, it came with challenges but it was not too much for me to handle. I love Maths."
Tobi's Yoruba attire impresses social media users

She described her love for the Yoruba native attire she wore:
"I grew up wearing the Yoruba traditional outfits a lot. On my Instagram page, more than 70% of the outfits there are Ankara. I just love it. Aso Oke is the ceremonial native attire of the Yorubas. I intended to wear it for my first graduation, but I had a Zoom graduation because of Covid so my second graduation was a great opportunity. I loved it and people loved it too."
