I was born and raised in Toulouse, in the South of France, before moving to Paris for my Master's degree at the Sorbonne and the École Normale Supérieure. I majored in Classics, with a focus on history of science: my Master's thesis is about the discovery and explanation of ocean tides in Hellenistic and Roman eras, from a scientific, historical and philosophical standpoint. I am also interested in ancient and French literatures, as well as grammar and linguistics.

As an Exchange Lecturer for 2024-2025, I teach French and French Literature.
