History student at Master's level, specialising in colonial West Africa and the Sahel region. Participant in the research project ERC-STG 759390 Langarchiv [https://langarchiv.hypotheses.org/the-project], led by the scholars Camille Lefebvre, Ari Awagana and Benedetta Rossi.

This project is in part dedicated to a collaborative effort to contribute to Wikipedia by writing, editing and translating articles about African and European historical figures in Hausa and Kanuri areas of West Africa. Within this project, I have contributed to the French Wikipedia page of Moïse Landeroin, colonial officer in the Sahel.

As a native English speaker, I am now planning to translate the following articles from French to English:
