Dr. Miriam brings over two decades of first-hand experience in architectural education, research, and practice to every platform she steps onto. Her talks draw directly from published work and lived professional realities.
Every topic she speaks on connects directly to her published research, her years in the classroom, and her active professional registration as an architect in Nigeria.
With over 31 verified publications across housing, sustainability, and architectural education, her talks are supported by peer-reviewed evidence, not general observation.
She understands the journey from student to researcher to seasoned academic. Her engagements with WAiC demonstrate a commitment to mentoring the next generation of built environment scholars.
Her ARCON registration and ongoing consultancy practice mean she does not speak only from academic theory. She has designed buildings, managed projects, and navigated the profession from both sides.
All topics below are directly supported by her published research and professional experience. She does not speak on subjects outside her documented areas of expertise.
For conferences, seminars, or workshops where the topic you need is adjacent to the list below, she is open to a conversation about relevance and fit. Use the contact page to reach her.
