Name: Ifeanyi Isigwe

Thinking about my time in Stella Maris College brings back a whole range of pleasant memories. The institution is made up of a variety of people from different cultures which enabled me develop vital interpersonal skills. This has been extremely useful as it allows me communicate effectively with colleagues from different nations thereby building up my network and becoming less shy.

What I miss about Stella Maris College are the engaging language lessons taught by the talented tutors and the snacks, lol. The Fish Roll was heavenly and in all my travels, I am yet to find a suitable replacement.

I currently work as a Renewable Energy Consultant where I develop green energy solutions based on biological wastes across North America. Graduating with a first class honors degree in Chemical Engineering set the foundation for me to build up on basic process development principles targeted towards renewable energy systems.

My commitment to saving the environment through renewable energy development earned me recognition as a Sustainability Rising Star by the United States Green Chamber of Commerce. Nigeria being a nation highly dependent on fossil fuels needs a diversification of its energy sources which is the basis of my future goal. I aim to optimise the production of biofuel and solar energy products based on the nation’s natural resources so as to improve living standards and achieve national sustainability.
