Community Partnerships Manager
French at heart, LA-based and always ready to travel when the opportunity comes. I’m a mom, former florist, foodie, and curious soul who’s always looking for the next adventure. People fascinate me, and I love discovering what makes them tick.
About me
- Bachelor’s degree in Sales
- I’m originally from France’s Loire Valley, but I made the leap across the Atlantic to Los Angeles back in 2009 and have been soaking up the California sun ever since.
- Before stepping into business development, I worked as a florist and even started my career in the gardening industry with Thompson & Morgan.
- On weekends, you’ll often find me practicing Sashiko, a traditional form of Japanese decorative stitching.
