For over 8 years, I have been passionately dedicated to supporting individuals, teams, and organizations in their evolution journey. My mission is to help them discover new perspectives and face challenges with courage and determination.

I have worked with associations, startups, agencies, SMEs, and corporations of various sizes and across different sectors.

By nature, I am dynamic, having experienced a life rich in changes (e.g., 7 house moves in 2023/2024 alone, totaling 27 throughout my life). This experience has taught me to quickly adapt to new situations and embrace change with enthusiasm!

Furthermore, since I was young, I have always loved challenging myself and exploring new horizons. This adventurous spirit has led me to engage in extreme sports such as street skateboarding, aggressive rollerblading, and, most recently, rock climbing, where each ascent serves as a metaphor for my life: overcoming obstacles, conquering fears, and reaching new heights.

Beyond my professional commitment, I also find great joy in exploring nature, hiking in the woods or mountains. These experiences rejuvenate me and offer valuable moments of reflection, as I firmly believe that connecting with nature is essential for maintaining mental and emotional balance.
