About Me

I'm a final-year M2 Bioinformatics and biostatistics student at the University of Rouen, currently completing an 18-month apprenticeship at INRAE.

I have experience in pangenomics and genome assembly, developing efficient computational solutions for large-scale genomic data analysis.

I also served as House Manager at the Bordeaux National Opera for five years, where I coordinated reception teams during evening performances. This role taught me the value of rigor, teamwork, and an eye for detail.
