I am passionate about education, educational guidance and experiential learning. As founder of the Mon Choix Ma Carrière initiative, I help young people, particularly girls, to discover their talents, develop their skills and choose promising careers, particularly in the STEM fields.

With my initiative, I have already reached over 800 young people through workshops, conferences and practical programmes. My commitment is based on the values of integrity, tolerance and collaboration. I have also coordinated pan-African projects such as Together for a New Africa, promoting co-leadership and sustainable development.

I am particularly interested in issues relating to innovative education, gender equality, youth, digital technology and professional integration. My aim is to transform Mon Choix Ma Carrière into an EdTech start-up to put technology at the service of guidance and education in Africa.

Agronomist with specialization in applications of remote sensing for agriculture. After 10 years on control of CAP subsidies with remote sensing and GPS, I moved to the group dealing with food insecure countries; we monitor agriculture (with a foucus towards drought) in 80 food insecure countries on a monthly basis (see JRC ASAP); we also work on yield forecasting at regional (infra country) level using meteo and remote sensing yield indicators. Our main challenges there are to access crop statistics (over at least 15 years) and find relations between these statistics (which may be biased) and yield indicators (the ones we have may not be the best ones).
