Passionate about the living world and nature since childhood, my path has led me today to place them even more firmly at the heart of my concerns.

My training in journalism helped develop an insatiable curiosity and a need to find answers to my questions.

As director of a Natural Park for more than 26 years, I had the opportunity to contribute to the development of a territory where the preservation and enhancement of natural and cultural heritage were central to all projects. In the spirit of this organization’s slogan, “It’s in my nature to create connections.”

As a nature guide, I take great joy in leading adults, families, and children to discover little-known worlds, such as those of bats and spiders.

Today, as a certified Nature (Re)Connection guide, I am convinced of the need to return to what is essential: our intimate relationship with nature. Our sense of wonder and our emotions in contact with it are the strongest foundations for nurturing and rediscovering this relationship. A better understanding of its impacts on our mental and physical health reveals something we have too often forgotten: we come from nature—and we are nature.

I am optimistic and committed to a future that reconciles humans and nature. I deeply wish to contribute to strengthening these renewed connections.
