She has deep experience in Eating Disorder Treatment of children and adolescents with other areas of interest, including perinatal and cultural psychiatry.

She developed a fascination with the human mind and mental disturbances from her early teen years (growing up in the Republic of Cameroon) and expressed the desire to become a Psychiatrist.
