ABOUT ME
Berlin has been my home for over 20 years and is the epicentre of a journey that keeps taking me across Germany, Europe and the world — from Algeria to Indonesia, from Kenya to Bosnia-Herzegovina — working with people from all backgrounds and generations, and creating innovative encounters around the issues of today.
Born in France in 1979, I grew up in Lagos (Nigeria) and Seoul (South Korea) before returning to Normandy and then the Paris region — a childhood that awakened my curiosity for cultures, languages, history and the ways people live together.
After studying international business and affairs, and humanitarian and social management in Paris, with internships in communication/PR and international mobility in France and the United States (San Francisco), I came to Berlin in 2004 for a European Voluntary Service at Circus Cabuwazi.
It was at a European seminar that I discovered my profession: addressing serious topics through alternative formats and accompanying people in genuinely meeting the other - beyond social, cultural, linguistic and other barriers.
In 2005, I joined Bapob e.V. - the Berlin Working Group for Political Education, with a focus on international exchanges - to train and work as a project coordinator and facilitator, before going freelance in 2006 as an intercultural trainer. Since then, I have been designing and leading international projects and advising organisations on event design because I know what's at stake: when group dynamics, linguistic diversity and power relationships are overlooked in big events, even the best gathering misses its full potential. Since 2010, I have also been using storytelling to explore contemporary issues through ancient tales.

A rich human and professional experience is at your disposal. I look forward to every new collaboration!
