Management
French
Originally from Corrèze, I grew up in a family of 3 children, working-class parents with an orientation towards a rather industrial food and allopathic medicine.
I quickly followed in my parents' footsteps, taking on various part-time jobs while studying to become a Manager of Health, Social, and Leisure Facilities. Barely out of school, I started working in addiction prevention and then in psychiatry. I began as a community arts facilitator, then became a quality manager, and finally an assistant director in a small rehabilitation center.
