He earned a Licence in Private Law at the Université Catholique de l’Afrique de l’Ouest (UCAO) in 2023, followed by an MBA in Tax and Business Law at the Institut Supérieur de Management (ISM), class of 2025.
His Master’s thesis on SME financing in Senegal was selected among the best works of his class for its rigour and economic relevance.

- Legal Assistant at the Moctar-Ngbokoli law firm in Bangui, confronting the realities of counsel and litigation;
