  • Description

    I am 24 years old.
    I obtained a master's degree in French labour law in October 2024. I have completed an apprenticeship at ENGIE (company that mostly provides electricity solutions) during my master's degree. I continued to work there until May 2025.
    As I have not found a deep meaning/purpose in my job (Labour law specialist), I am trying to find one by contributing to a project.
    I have had a few occasions to volunteer and it really brought me happiness.

    Apart from that, I love all kinds of animals (except spiders). I live in a small town of 1400 inhabitants, surrounded by fields and trees, about an hour from Paris. I used to have 4 cats at home but one recently passed away naturally. When I was young, we had a fish tank and 4 rats. I have ridden horses since I was 3 years old, and still have a horse riding lesson every week.
    I once wanted to work with animals (in a park, in a zoo...), however there is almost no long-term perspective in France : you have to know someone who works in a zoo to have a chance to work there yourself. At the age of 5, I had the opportunity to go to a farm summer camp, where I learned how to care for farm animals and make goat cheese from scratch.
    As for horses, I have had the opportunity to work with young horses, at a trail structure.

    I love to travel and to discover new cultures. I have had the chance to travel a lot with my parents, who contributed to my love of meeting new people, discovering other ways of living, etc...

    I am eager to learn new things, discover new places. I am almost always in a good mood. I love to joke and tease.

    In 2018, I spent 5 weeks in Australia, for a language study stay. I was staying with an australian family, with two objectives : to help their high school kid improve their French and to improve my English skills. I was then in an australian high school class and studied with them. I chose this over a language summer camp because I loved the idea of discovering the country from the inside, with an australian family.
    In 2021, during my bachelor studies in international law, I spent 4 months in Hungary for an Erasmus semester (study abroad).

    More details about my language interests
    I believe that languages are part of the culture, and learning at least a few words/sentences allows one to show some interest/respect for the culture.

  • More details about your skills

    As I have told in my profile description, I have lived my whole life in a small town.
    One summer, I worked with the town agents to keep the town clean. It involved lawn mowing, painting, trimming edges, etc...
    Also, I have volunteered at multiple events in my town and even in Paris, during the 2024 Olympic Games : helping at the refreshment bar, managing queues, cooking a french dish at a medieval event, welcoming guests and answering questions. I believe that these experiences have made me more mature, independent, observant.

    Also, concerning animal care, I have cared for fish, rats and cats at home, for multiple years.
    Moreover, as I have ridden horses for 21 years of my life, I believe that I am able to care for them.
    Finally, even though it is not for a long time, I have worked at a dog shelter, where I had to clean the enclosures, take them for a walk, feed them, etc...

    Other hobbies of mine are cooking and taking pictures. Although I am no professional chef or photographer, I do enjoy spending some time improving my skills in both.
