I was born in Geneva in 1989. After obtaining my bilingual High School diploma at Collège de Candolle, I moved to Saint-Gallen. There I did my Bachelor of Arts in International Affairs followed by a Master of Arts in International and Governance at the University of Saint-Gallen . I had the occasion to use the knowledge aquired during an internship at SwissCore in Brussels. This allowed me to deepen my practical knowledge of international cooperation and more precisly in the cooperation for scientific research. Next to my studies I enjoy travelling, hiking and taking the perfect picture.
