Activities

For the past 20 years, I have been involved in the conservation of coastal and marine resources by accompanying the management processes of Marine Protected Areas and the protection of endangered species. I reinforce this commitment by proposing communication strategies to improve the fluidity of internal exchanges and guarantee the promotion and visibility of the structures. 

My experience in managing Biodiversity / Communication programs and more recently my position as Executive Director of an NGO allow me to consider conservation under multiple facets. In these critical times of biodiversity loss, my commitment and motivation are stronger and more optimistic. 
Please do not hesitate to contact me.
Your sincerely
