About

As a Management & Business Administration student, I have a versatile profile and a strong interest in the world of trends and creative fields, particularly fashion, beauty, and lifestyle. I also enjoy the analytical and business development side of projects. As part of my gap year, I am currently looking for a six-month internship in France for the second half of 2026, where I can further explore these interests, develop my creative side, and contribute to meaningful and inspiring projects. Let’s connect!
