About

🎓 Graduate of Grenoble INP-Pagora, I'm passionate about innovation in sustainable packaging, bio-based materials and environmentally-friendly packaging solutions. My career path has enabled me to develop dual expertise in food quality and materials R&D thanks to an industrial project conducted with the LDC Group at LGP2, where I worked on the development of a paper packaging with barrier properties. I'm currently looking for my first opportunity as a packaging engineer, eco-design manager or CSR engineer. Curious, rigorous and committed to a more sustainable industry! Don't hesitate to contact me for a chat!
