About

Originaire de Suisse et ayant grandi en Valais, j’ai toujours évolué dans une culture d’authenticité, d’excellence et de passion pour le service. Intégrer l’EHL représente pour moi l’aboutissement d’un rêve de longue date. Au fil des années, j’ai mené et participé à différents projets qui m’ont permis de développer mes compétences en organisation, leadership et travail d’équipe. J’ai d’abord acquis une expérience professionnelle chez BARNES Suisse, puis effectué un stage au sein du département Communication & Événementiel du Groupe Mutuel, renforçant ainsi mon intérêt pour l’organisation, la coordination de projets et les relations humaines. Par la suite, j’ai réalisé un stage de six mois à l’Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo, l’un des établissements les plus prestigieux au monde, où j’ai développé de solides compétences opérationnelles dans un environnement exigeant et inspirant. Je souhaite aujourd’hui continuer à apprendre, à progresser et à contribuer à la création d’expériences clients mémorables, tout en perpétuant les valeurs d’excellence et d’élégance qui définissent notre industrie. ⸻ Originally from Switzerland and raised in Valais, I have always grown up in an environment shaped by authenticity, excellence, and a strong passion for service. Joining EHL represents the fulfillment of a long-standing dream. Over the years, I have led and taken part in various projects that strengthened my skills in organization, leadership, and teamwork. I first gained professional experience at BARNES Suisse, followed by an internship in the Communication & Events department at Groupe Mutuel, where I further developed my interest in project coordination, organization, and human relations. I then completed a six-month internship at the Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo, one of the world’s most prestigious hotels, where I developed strong operational skills within a demanding and inspiring environment. I now aspire to continue learning, growing, and contributing to the creation of memorable guest experiences, while upholding the values of excellence and elegance that define our industry.
