About us

A people’s cultural or artistic assets, whether tangible or intangible, constitute its heritage.
I’m passionate about heritage, which is why, after my academic studies, I took part in internships, work camps and heritage conservation training courses.
I studied at the University of Ngaoundéré, where I obtained a bachelor’s degree, a master’s degree in history and a professional degree in documentary information (library, archives, museum). I’m currently enrolled in a history thesis at the University of Ngaoundéré.
I obtained a professional degree in documentation (library, archives, museum), then did a one-year internship in museum conservation, with a one-month refresher course in Bafoussam and a one-week training course in conservation, handling and management of works.

Current projects

I work on decentralization, cultural and creative industries, and decentralization support institutions in Cameroon.
