    Travelling

  • Description

    I’m a 24-year-old student who’s been fortunate to travel and gather diverse experiences. At 18, right after high school, I did my first volunteer experience in Hjørring, Denmark, for a month—a deeply enriching experience. Since then, I’ve studied extensively in France, focusing on business, political science, English, communication, and marketing. Although I couldn’t repeat work experiences abroad right away, I had the incredible opportunity to organize an event for over 2,000 people, managing all the legal and logistical challenges.

    My adventures didn’t stop there! I’ve worked in a hostel on a beautiful island in Thailand, lived on a boat in Amsterdam, and developed a deep love for the mountains. Music is a big part of my life, having played the French horn for over 12 years. I’m also a passionate runner, and I’m always eager to learn new things.

    Curious by nature, I love discovering new cultures and people, constantly seeking new and unique experiences. I enjoy going out, meeting new people, and sharing stories. Currently, I’m in the United States for a year, and I’m looking forward to using my winter break to travel, meet new faces, and dive into fresh adventures. I’m excited to chat with you!

  • More details about your skills

    The experience that has impressed me the most is the one where I was in charge of the organisation of a sports and festive event lasting more than three days. We created the equivalent of the Olympic Games for French business schools last April. This experience allowed me to be in charge of an organisation of more than 56 people (which rose to 150 during the event), to have to manage more than 2,000 people during 3 days, to manage a budget of several hundred thousand euros. I learned great skills in management, organisation, but also in reacting to stressful situations and having to act in a short period of time.
    Moreover, I could see all the different aspects to be taken into account for an event, such as logistics (food, sports), communication, relations with the public / the press or even the fact of creating a temporary village for the event.

    My professional background is in business (finance, marketing, consulting, strategy) and political science. I was able to have a generalist education before passing competitive exams in order to enter a business school, which I decided to complete with political science and international relations skills.

    Also, I had other experiences as a waiter in a restaurant, for a total duration of two months. I really enjoyed the contact with customers, the fact that I had to manage shifts as a team, even when there were a lot of people, and the fact of working together with a team on the same objective.

  • What else ...

    I also had the opportunity to work 2 weeks in a bookstore and 2 weeks in a hotel in Germany, in Duisburg.
    I enjoyed the hotel experience, and as for the time I was a waiter I am very excited to repeat the experience, especially in Thailand in early 2023.
    I had a three-month experience in a start-up as a right-hand man, in the music industry. I also spent 6 months as an Analyst in a Business Angels network to finance impact projects, start-ups. I went to Thailand for 5 weeks before doing a 6 month internship at the French Development Agency from the beginning of February.
