Systems / Architecture
A detailed look at the disciplines, methodologies, and tools I bring to every engagement — spanning consulting, policy, research, and communications.
End-to-end business creation support for German-African entrepreneurs: from idea validation and market analysis through to company formation and growth strategy. I apply Design Thinking processes and methods to surface real user problems and rapidly prototype solutions that work in the West African context.
CONSULTING
One-on-one and group coaching for founders and early-stage entrepreneurs in Togo, Benin, and the German diaspora. I guide clients through the mindset, skills, and practical steps needed to build sustainable businesses — with a focus on local business owners underserved by traditional support systems.
COACHING
Grounded in an MA in African Studies from Bayreuth, I combine academic rigour with practical experience to analyse governance, regional integration, decentralisation, and Good Governance frameworks. I translate policy into actionable programmes for development organisations and civil society actors.
POLICY
Formerly as Administrator at BAMF-Bonn, supported asylum procedures, coordinated appointments and applications, managed documents and files, and handled internal and external communication — combining legal awareness with multilingual communication in German, French, English, and Italian.
PUBLIC SERVICE
Qualitative and quantitative research design informed by fieldwork on radio, political participation, decentralisation, and local development. Proficient in MAXQDA, Excel, Libre Office Calc and F4 Transcription for data collection, coding, grounded theory analysis, and scientific knowledge production.
RESEARCH
Professional-level translation and editorial work across French, German, and English — including content for the BIGSAS World blog at the University of Bayreuth. Native speaker of Éwé, Ifè and Wudu, enabling authentic engagement with Togolese and Beninese communities.
LANGUAGES
Planning and facilitation of virtual and face-to-face workshops, conferences, and community events for GIZ, the University of Bayreuth, Africa Politicum, and local organisations — coordinating logistics, moderation, and stakeholder communication from concept to execution.
EVENTS
Strategic communications and PR for Africa Politicum, managing social media, external stakeholder relationships, and public-facing messaging. I build narratives that connect African civil society voices with European policy audiences in an accessible, impactful way.
COMMUNICATIONS
Over three years volunteering at Bayreuth counselling asylum seekers, and tutoring at Kinderschutzbund — providing language support, mentoring, and German-Italian interpretation. I believe development starts with individuals: coaching, tutoring and mentoring are core to my professional identity.
