My profile
From the age of 15, I opted for independence, marking the start of my professional career with the award, in 2002, of my federal certificate of competence as a HGA (Hotel-Gastronomy-Hospitality) assistant. I then furthered my skills by training as a barmaid at the Absolute Bartending school in Montreal.
At the age of 19, armed with my "brevet cantonal de cafetier-restaurateur", I made my dream come true by opening an establishment in my native village. An entrepreneurial adventure that lasted for 3 years.
I then devoted several years of my career to the Loterie Romande, where I was fortunate enough to acquire various diplomas relating to the prevention of gambling and its associated addiction problems. This professional experience not only enabled me to deepen my knowledge in these fields, but also to broaden my social horizons and deepen my perception of human interaction.
Today, drawing on this enriching experience, I use my skills and passion to offer innovative solutions and quality service in the management of OPPAL's volunteer community.
Why OPPAL?
My interest in issues relating to the management of the living and the animal world has long since taken root. Having followed several training courses focusing on behavioral analysis and modification, these principles awakened in me the desire to design something innovative.
The idea of bringing together people from different backgrounds, with fundamentally divergent ideas, immediately captured my enthusiasm. In the sensitive context of coexistence between wolves and breeders, the observation of hostile discourse and communication difficulties inspired me to envisage a constructive alternative.
OPPAL's social dynamic, with its eclectic mix of personalities, is a daily source of motivation to drive the project forward.
My assets for OPPAL
With my excellent organizational skills, I ensure that each field mission is planned efficiently. My keen sense of organization is an essential foundation for the smooth running of field activities.
My natural empathy is also a major asset. This quality enables me to offer personalized support to everyone involved in the association. My insatiable curiosity and constant desire to acquire new skills align perfectly with the varied challenges that OPPAL represents. This quest for continuous learning strengthens my motivation, driving me to take on the many challenges that arise within this association day after day.
