Life
She was born on 4 November 1958, in Paris.

She is known for being the very first forensic pediatrician on France 2. She was behind the opening of the first medical-judicial unit for minors at the Trousseau hospital in 2003.

She has been a member of the Independent Commission on Incest and Sexual Violence Against Children (Ciivise) since its creation, in 2021. That same year, she gave a presentation on incest during the National Days of General Medicine.

She was appointed vice-president of the Ciivise on 12 December 2023, after the ouster of judge Édouard Durand 4. Her appointment was tense, with the majority of associations in the field wanting to retain Judge Durand. According to Le Parisien, she opposed a flagship measure of the Ciivise, making it compulsory to report sexual violence against children by doctors.

Following a complaint for "sexual assault by a person abusing the authority conferred on them by their position", she resigned from the leadership of the Ciivise on 7 February 2024. Caroline Rey-Salmon “disputes all of the accusations against her”
