About

My educational journey began with a secondary state diploma in general pedagogy. Subsequently, I pursued studies in philosophy, earning a bachelor's and a master's degree specialized in the philosophy of science, with a focus on the philosophy of mind and cognitive sciences, between 2016 and 2021, Loyola University of Congo (ULC). This specialty offers a comprehensive education covering epistemology, the philosophy of language, mind, and science as well as logic. During this program, I acquired skills in advanced philosophical analysis, research and scientific writing, interdisciplinarity, and scientific communication. In parallel, I obtained a secondary school teaching qualification in 2021. Currently, I am enrolled in a bachelor's program in theology, which will run from 2023 to 2026, in Hekima University College. Professionally, I have accumulated five years of teaching experience in various secondary education institutions and disciplines (between 2013 and 2019). In addition to my teaching career, I worked for two years, from 2021 to 2023, as a journalist for the French editorial team of the Africa program at Vatican News-Radio Vatican, in Rome. During this period, I covered various topics such as the news and life of the universal Catholic Church, the life of the Church in Africa, social and political issues, as well as science and health topics. As a researcher in philosophy, my interests focus on the philosophy of science, epistemology, the philosophy of mind, and cognitive sciences, as well as their applications in social, political, and educational fields, and the history of ideas in Africa. In theology, I am particularly attracted by analytical theology, the history and evolution of dogma, soteriology, and ecclesiology. Motivated by the pursuit of knowledge and the positive impact that education and information can have on society, I wish to continue exploring the interactions between my areas of expertise and contribute to innovative and enriching projects.
