Born from an Austrian mother and a French father, I grew up in a European environment. My three siblings and I all went to school in France and studied in a bi-national section that lead to us obtaining the French and the German A-Levels. After getting my Baccalauréat, I moved to Paris where I attended a classe préparatoire BL (sciences sociales), a French uniqueness in higher education that prepares ambitious students over two years to sit selective exams which open the doors of the equivalent of prestigious universities, les grandes écoles. Despite really enjoying this demanding and exciting path, I felt I wanted to more specifically focus on Economics -this was only one of the 6 subjects I studied. Having solid English skills being required in this field, I took a year off in England during which I successfully applied to the London School of Economics. Over this first year abroad, I was teacher assistant in a Primary School, taking English classes, and helping on a Cornish farm. Like a sociologist, I experienced many aspects of a British life. The newest facet that I am still enjoying today takes place in London: since last year, I study Environmental Policy with Economics. I also take Japanese classes, am committed to several projects in societies -among which the organisation of an international conference on sustainable finance last March. I swim regularly and love to catch expressions in people's beautiful faces. At night -and unfortunately not in London- I love starring in the stars too.
