Biography

Born and educated in Paris, I grew up surrounded by art, culture, and the creative energy that has always shaped the way I see the world. I studied French Literature and Language in Paris, at Paris-Dauphine University. My journey eventually took me beyond France, leading me to India, where I traveled and taught French in Pondicherry. The experience opened my eyes to new traditions and culture.

My travels later brought me to San Francisco, a beautiful city with a unique spirit and a vibrant community of artists, of musicians. I continued teaching in an International School. Living between different cultures has become an important part of my identity.

I believe that learning different languages is the ideal way for understanding other people's mind, culture, life.
