About Me

My name is Nwaji, pronounced Waji.I was born in Nigeria, and was raised there up until I completed elementary school. Subsequently after that, I moved to London, England for a couple of years before relocating to Atlanta, GA. I am a graduate of Howard University, and I currently work as an Associate Consultant with Phillips Consulting Limited here in Lagos, Nigeria.Atlanta, Ga was my first home in the United States.

We look nothing alike though.Currently, I work as a Management Consultant at Phillips Consulting Limited. I work in the Learning and Organizational Development Practice of my firm.
