Your organization field and mission

The key sector of the company is RFid or radio frequency identification.

Please tell us briefly about your role in the company / at your organization:

I take care of the pre-sales and after-sales of various UHF projects. I do training (in-house and external) and help customers if they have a problem with their UHF project.

Your interest in STEM

I’ve always liked manipulating objects in electronics, and I’ve always been better at math’s than French… as my studies progressed, this path came to me…

No, I have never been a fan of anyone, I just go my own way.

Your studies

I’ve always been naturally very stressed, so all the tests and assessments were a big challenge because I felt like I was my nerves.

You have to enjoy working with men and know how to take the make the most of being a woman in a man’s environment.

You at work

Our company works closely with the Résilience foundation, which helps to reintegrate injured soldiers.

What I’m most proud of is that I’ve been able to combine my professional life with my life as a mother.

You have to work hard, but I think that’s the basis of any profession, right?

Your point of view

The only difference between a man and a woman may be physical strength, which technology can more than compensate for.

I’ve never encountered any barriers in my job because I’m a woman. I don’t even see why the question should be asked. If you love the field, you should go for it.

We know that AI is going to take up more and more space, I just hope it doesn’t take up all the space …

To finish with

Work and good Will

My future challenge is to be able to perform in English so that I can transcribe everything I do internationally.

I hope to lead a team specialising in UHF.
