After making my first profession, I worked in two of our colleges as bursar, teacher and principal. I hold a diploma in technical education from the University of Douala and a certificate of completion of the formation course for formators from AOSK Chemchemi ya Uzima, Kenya. After this course, I served as novice mistress for ten years. It was a beautiful experience of learning about myself and the vocation I am called to live, as I journeyed daily with the younger members of our Congregation in their search for God’s will in their lives. My greatest joy at that time was to watch them grow and mature in understanding our way of life.

After the restructuring of the Cameroon Province in 2024, I was appointed Provincial Councillor of St. Francis Province. During the 2025 General Chapter, I was elected to the General Leadership Team as a councillor.

I am grateful to God for the gift of my vocation and for how He has been guiding and leading me over the years. In doing His will, I have had very challenging experiences, but one thing remains very clear to me: He has never abandoned me. For every mission I am called to carry out, He prepares me in inexplicable ways. The Lord has truly been the Shepherd of my life, leading me through every storm.

Every day, I find strength as I pray Psalm 23: “The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want.”

My Vision and Priority for Formation

As a member of the General Leadership, my vision is to promote a formation that enables every member of the Congregation to remain open to God, to one another, and to the mission entrusted to us, especially in a time of significant transition and change.
