About

Born and raised in a small village near Marseille, in the south of France, I have always been deeply inspired by the boundless creativity found in all forms of art and the dedication portrayed by athletes in sport. From childhood, these passions have shaped my perspective in life and my academic pursuits and, to this day, continue to guide me throughout my professional journey.
