Born in a suburb of Paris ๐ซ๐ท
Very happy growing up in some countryside landscapes, surrounded by cereal fields and a gigantic garden with fruit trees everywhere.

16yo, parents divorced, completed high-school in a boarding school in Normandy.
Moving to Paris, enrolling in prep courses for elite business schools, one of the most competitive after-graduation education system France can offer.
Barely 20yo, the randomness of life hit my family hard: we lost my dad from a heart attack.
Spent the next one year and half plunged in a very deep introspection. Things in me had changed, forever.
Still, wanted to go through to the end with what I started.
Repeated the last year to claim a spot for Audencia, based in Nantes ๐ซ๐ท, 6th ranked business school.
Celebrated by meeting with friends in the USA ๐บ๐ธ, road-tripping from San Francisco to Salt Lake City then discovering New York City ๐ฝ
