I am originally from D.R. Congo (DRC) and currently a second year Ph.D. student in Soil Science at the St Paul Campus. My research is about the study of the “impact of climate, topography, and farming system on the dynamic soil properties in Central DRC” for possible regional agricultural sustainability. After my B.S. in Soil Science in DRC, I worked as an extension agent for 10 years in DRC before my M.Sc. degree in farm management at the OSU in Columbus/Ohio. I am married and father of 4 children.
