About

Born and raised in Kinshasa, DR Congo, I immigrated with my family to Canada in 2011. Since then, I’ve bounced around many cities in Alberta, starting with Calgary for three years, Grande Prairie for four years, and I now in Edmonton —first for school, now permanently. I attend the University of Alberta, taking a Bachelor of Science in Bilingual Nursing. For as long as I can remember, I’ve always had an entrepreneurial mind, reselling candy at seven years old, selling printed anime artwork in middle school, and flipping electronics and even cars in high school. However, my unwavering interest in the medical field and the opportunity to save lives led me to opt for a nursing program, instead of business degree. Though my academic path is far from the typical entrepreneur, the skills I’ve learned so far in Nursing, namely critical thinking, decision making, time management and prioritizations, have proved indispensable in my Entrepreneur life.

I am a simple man; I love to cook, play basketball, read books, take photos, meet people, and most importantly, solve problems.

    Health

    I was part of the Media and Photography team for the 2018 Alberta Summer Games in Grande Prairie. I took professional photos for young athletes from all over the province. From swimming to basketball, track and field to soccer, I had the opportunity to witness the intensity and competitiveness of these committed and hardworking athletes. For your viewing pleasure, some of the photos can be found here: https://www.flickr.com/people/2018asg/
