Summary

I hold a Master degree in geological sciences from the University of Liège since 2016. I then specialized in gemmology through several degrees. I dedicated my early career to education which helped me to develop my communication and management skills.

In 2019, due to an increasing interest in rare metals and petrology, I worked on a 4-years research project in experimental petrology at the University of Liège. My journey in academia offered me the opportunities to evolve in an international atmosphere, improve my scientific communication skills, allow my creativity to run free to solve complex scientific issues, use expensive lab equipments, etc.

In 2024, I went back to education in gemmology, then in water management. Fresh water is a scarce resource that needs to be protected and better managed worldwide. It is important to me to teach the young generation how to do so. Along with that, I started working as AI human feedback remotely. The digital transition our world is currently going through asks us to get involved and catch the AI train for a better future.


My strong points :

• Inquiring and creative mind
• Problem-solving
• Adaptive and a quick learner
• Good communication skills (scientific & interpersonal)
