I am a Roman-Catholic priest and belong to the international religious order of the Jesuits (Society of Jesus). Since 2016, I have been working in the pastoral care of refugees, including in the detention centers in Eisenhüttenstadt and Lichtenrade. Since July 2024, I am the refugee chaplain of the Archdiocese of Berlin. I speak German, English and Spanish.

I worked as a certified and state recognized German teacher at private and public grammar schools in Burkina Faso for about five years. Starting in 2022, I began working at the Goethe-Institute Burkina Faso as a coordinator in the German Education Cooperation and in the PASCH project (Schools, Partners for the Future). In addition, from May 2023, I took on the role of administrative manager of the AMIF project ‘Living and Working in Germany’.
In addition, I worked as a translator and interpreter for the association ‘HELP a child e.V.’, a state-recognized adoption agency, from 2016 to 2024. Since January 2025, I have been a refugee chaplain at the initial reception center in Wünsdorf. I speak French, German, English, Mooré and Dioula.
