Resumo

I am an experienced professional in international relations, political affairs, and public administration, with a solid background within the Ministry of External Relations of Cameroon. My work has focused on the negotiation, implementation, and monitoring of international agreements and treaties, particularly in the areas of Cameroon–European Union relations, multilateral cooperation, human rights, and international legal affairs.Throughout my career, I have developed strong expertise in policy analysis, diplomatic coordination, and strategic international cooperation, including the preparation of official reports, briefing notes, and policy recommendations for senior government authorities. In my most recent position as Head of Cameroon–EU relations, I coordinated political dialogue, monitored the implementation of international commitments, and contributed to governance, peacebuilding, and institutional strengthening initiatives.In parallel, I have built a strong academic and professional development background, including a Master’s degree in International Relations (IRIC, University of Yaoundé II), research in diplomacy, regional integration, and sociopolitical studies, as well as continuous training in migration law, European security, arms control, and peacekeeping recruitment processes.Since 2017, I have also served as the National Focal Point for Cameroon to the European Border and Coast Guard Agency (Frontex), which has strengthened my expertise in migration governance, border management cooperation, and international security frameworks.Overall, my profile reflects a strong combination of diplomatic practice, analytical skills, and multilateral cooperation experience, particularly in the fields of European affairs, migration governance, and international policy coordination.
