A little bit about me
I am passionate about science communication and data visualisation.
I was born in France and moved to Ireland when I was 17 to study Biomedical Engineering at the University of Galway. Loving academia and research, I enrolled in a PhD programme in 2019. The Marie Sklodowska-Curie research fellowship gave me the opportunity to do half of my PhD in a biotech start-up in Venice, Italy, and the other half at the University of Galway.

Our collaborative project focused on advanced therapies for diabetes, and I research on novel implantable devices for drug delivery (read about it here). My PhD was an amazing experience and I was lucky to be surrounded by great mentors and colleagues.
While I love research and innovation, I developed a strong interest in science writing and communication. I have acquired versatile storytelling and writing skills while working as a policy analyst at the European Commission, and currently at the EFIS centre, but also by being a tour guide in Ireland and Scotland, teaching kayaking and writing articles.
Having completed a PhD, I understand the need for clear writing and effective visuals. I love data analysis (is there anything more fun than making graphs in R on a rainy day?) and data-driven storytelling.
Maps of the places I have the chance to visit and the cities I have lived in – made in R on a rainy afternoon.

Outside work, I can usually be found on the water. I started kayaking when I was 13 in Millau, France, and I have been addicted ever since. I travel around the world to discover new rivers and compete at European and World Championships. The kayaking community is one of most fun and resilient sports communities and I am lucky to have made friends all over the globe. I love spending time outside, and when kayaking is not an option, I like to go running, gravel-biking or bouldering.
Feel free to email me or connect with me on LinkedIn, I would be happy to hear about any opportunities you may have.
