Bola is a native of Plano, TX and a graduate of the University of Texas School of Law. Prior to Texas Law, Bola graduated from the University of Oklahoma with a major in Journalism-Public Relations. After starting her career, Bola made an intentional pivot to come to law school to pursue a career in education law. Bola’s clerkship experiences have all focused-on education law, including clerking for the Texas Association of School Boards and the Texas Education Agency. Bola was also a summer clerk for Walsh Gallegos and quickly knew it would be her professional home.

At Texas Law, Bola was very involved, and her activities included being Vice President and Of Counsel for the Student Bar Association, Co-Director for Law Students for Black Lives, a society coordinator for Student Affairs, and a member of the Thurgood Marshall Legal Society. Additionally, Bola was a clinical student for the Entrepreneurship & Community Development Clinic and the Children's Rights Clinic.

Bola has always had a heart for education and uplifting youth. Outside of practicing law, Bola is the co-founder of the Too Fly Foundation, which is a nonprofit that has helped under-resourced and underrepresented students across the country study abroad. Bola’s parents came to the United States from Nigeria with the mission of putting their children in the best education system possible. Bola is a byproduct of Texas’s great public schools and is proud to serve these schools at Walsh Gallegos.
