Originally from Troyes in Champagne Ardenne, France, I have always wanted to work in the field of biology. So I turned to a degree in Biology and Biochemistry in Reims in the Marne. Having thirst for knowledge, I then joined a Master of Applied Microbiology and Biological Engineering at the University Paris Sud, in which I fully bloomed. After completing a six-month internship, I had the opportunity to continue on the same theme, thanks to a thesis conducted within the UMR Micalis in collaboration between CLARINS.
