At the end of her high school studies, she received a scholarship to train at Morgan State University in Baltimore, Maryland, United States.[1]. She obtained a Bachelor's degree in History in 1981. Her American university training concluded at the University of Minnesota[2] with a Ph.D in Educational Administration in 1985 and a post-doctoral fellowship in Educational leadership in 1993[3].

She started her career as a part-time teacher at the University of Yaoundé I and at the Ecole Normale Supérieure[4] of Yaoundé. She became thesis director and member of several master’s and doctoral juries[5]. Nigerian universities grant her guest lecturer status and she conducts research on Educational leadership[6].
Thanks to her academic work in the educational field, the Ministry of Scientific Research and Innovation awarded her the title of Cameroonian researcher and then Chief research officer[7]. From 2002 to 2018, she directed the National Education Center[8]. This allows her to coordinate several research projects in social development and the publication of scientific journals. She also coordinates the organization of international conferences[9].
In August 2022, she became the Executive director of the Cameroonian branch of The Fomunyoh Foundation (TFF)[10]: a humanitarian foundation that promotes democracy and human rights. This organization was created by Christopher Fomunyoh[11].
Political commitment

She works to increase the political participation of women and their involvement in decision-making spheres. As a result, she often has spats with party men. She organizes annual capacity building seminars for women and young people. In 1996, she became Secretary General of SDF[12], under the direction of Chairman Ni John Fru Ndi. However, in 2015, she sent a letter of resignation[13] from her position as Secretary General to the National Executive Committee (NEC)[14] in which she nevertheless claimed to remain a member of the SDF despite strong internal tensions[15]
