Dakar, Dakar Region, Senegal
I’m a researcher in German Studies and an intercultural facilitator working at the intersection of research, political discourse, and international cooperation. My doctoral thesis, written in German and due for submission in September 2026, analyses how sustainability is debated in the German Bundestag: a politolinguistic study that has trained me to decode political discourse, synthesise complex debates, and write with precision in both French and German. This analytical foundation shapes how I look at development questions: understanding how political narratives shape public policy. Across my path between Cameroon, Germany, and Senegal, I have co-organised international academic seminars (KIT Karlsruhe, EPICUR, Tongji University), co-developed and co-coordinated the first national Open Space in Cameroon, a participatory format run across three university cities by the DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service), worked with the Goethe-Institut Senegal in 2025 as a workshop co-facilitator and interpreter in Thiès and Ziguinchor, within the project “Deutsch als Fremdsprache durch Kunst vermittelt”. InNovember 2025, I served as rapporteur for the Feminist Ideas Lab (FemLab) of the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung in Dakar, documenting an analysing the sessions and writing the final report guiding a multi-year process on feminist economic justice. What connects these experiences is a simple conviction: intercultural dialogue and sustainable development are built concretely through language, through participatory methods, and through spaces where different voices can meet. I’m especially drawn to questions of democracy, sustainable development, equality, and international cooperation, and I aim to put my analytical and linguistic skills to work on projects with real impact. 🌍 Languages: French (C2), German (C1), English (C1), Bassa (native), Wolof (basic, AIZ Bonn 2025). 📩 Open to conversations around development policy, German–African cooperation, and intercultural projects.
