I'm a third-culture kid.

I've been a space & astronomy addict since childhood, spending nights outside looking up at the night sky with my small telescope, my passions back then were black holes, Mars and exoplanets! Not much has changed, except it's turned into a full-time job and the telescopes have gotten a whole lot bigger. Armed with a bachelor in English studies and a Master's in translation and communication, I love writing and have applied this to my various science communication jobs at the French space agency CNES, the European Southern Observatory both in Germany and in Chile and the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR) in Western Australia.

Possible COI: Since 2014, I've been part of the international team working to deliver the Square Kilometre Array. As the Deputy Communications & Outreach Manager, my job is to share the latest information with the public and the media. I have an obvious interest in keeping the Square Kilometre Array page up-to-date. Because of the project's complexity and the fact it is still under design, with engineering being refined and science goals being prepared, information evolves quickly and can therefore become quickly out of date, so I'm here to help and point to newly available information.

I'm also interested in all astronomy and space having bathed in the field for years, but also in translation, languages, politics, intercultural experiences, motorcycles and dogs.
