What is your role in your university?
I am a project manager for the Circle U. Knowledge Hubs at Université Paris Cité. I first started at UPCité in 2021 at the International Department of the Health Faculty. I am now working for Circle U. in our main International Relations and Strategy Office.
What is your role in the Circle U. Alliance?
In Circle U. I am working within the Work Package 5 related to the Knowledge Hubs and more specifically, I coordinate the Global Health Knowledge Hub and all the activities attached to it (Summer school, seminar, joint courses etc.).
What do you particularly like about your work at Circle U.?
I truly value the opportunity within Circle U. to work with extremely enthusiastic people with diverse backgrounds. As a strong believer that internationalisation of education is essential for all students, I feel proud to contribute in some way in developing new opportunities for our community. I also like the innovation part within Circle U. and the opportunity we have to test new models and be more creative.
Have you had any experience abroad?
Yes, and my career path as been highly driven by the opportunities I had abroad during my studies. I was fortunate to spend a semester in Lancaster England during my bachelor’s degree and another semester in Valladolid, Spain during my master’s degree. I also did a 6-month internship in Madrid, Spain. Now, trough Circle U. I have the chances to visit our partners and discover new cities. It is extremely stimulating.
If you had a sabbatical year, what would you do?
As most people would like to, I would like to travel the world maybe by train and discover new places. I would also like to learn new skills (play the piano or learn new languages). And finally, I would like to spend more quality time with my friends and family.
