What is your initial training?

After passing a competitive examination, I joined INRA (Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique), as a unit manager and executive assistant.
I've been working at INRA ever since.
For family reasons, I moved and, after working as a medical secretary in a dental practice, I joined the archaeological department of a Direction Régionale des Affaires Culturelles (DRAC) as an administrative secretary.
Then I joined the budgetary services of the army before joining the INAO.
Why did you choose INAO?
INAO allows me to return to my first love, namely wine and good food!
The institute symbolizes the valorization of tradition and the quality of our agricultural products.
I take part in several working groups within the institute, on diverse themes such as IT, the protection of terroirs and sustainable development.
I am a member of a number of working groups within the institute.
