I have a Master's degree in Business from the Lyon School of Management and a DESS in Technology and Innovation Management from the University of Paris Dauphine, I held management positions in companies, before starting a consulting. During my years in California, I devoted myself to teaching French as a tutor and substitute teacher in High School. I am also very involved in volunteering as President of American Friends of PSE in the US.

I am married and the mother of four adult children raised both in the US and in France. I am therefore perfectly bilingual and bicultural.
