PROFILE:
I am a French and Canadian dual citizen and I have lived and worked in France, Belgium, Canada, and Thailand. I completed a Bachelor of Arts (Honours), a Master of Arts, and a PhD in political science and global governance at universities across Canada, followed by a postdoctoral fellowship in higher education research. I have advocated for liberal arts education on the global stage. I was a visiting scholar at the Paris Institute of Political Studies (Sciences Po) in Paris, France, and I have presented my research at multiple international conferences in North America, Europe, South-East Asia, and the Middle East, winning numerous awards for it. I also worked for an international non-profit in Indonesia and at the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Headquarters in Brussels, Belgium. Most recently, I built and led a Career & Education Advising department at a 1,300-student international school in Thailand where I guided students and their families in making strategic decisions about their future and created unique professional development opportunities.
I am delighted to join Franklin’s team via a cross-appointment as Assistant Director of Admissions & Career Readiness Lead. I look forward to guiding both prospective and current Franklin students on their next educational and professional journey!
