			Bio I'm a curious mechanical engineer. After graduating in 2020, I worked in the project and building industry, then shifted gears to pursue a research master's in renewable energy. After my internship in France for my thesis, I got selected for a Ph.D. program between IMT Atlantique in France and the University of Sherbrooke in Canada, combining my mechanical engineering background with a focus on advancing renewable energy storage.
Summary It's the story of my journey as a female mechanical engineer, overcoming obstacles and following my curiosity wherever it led. I've grappled with the challenge of uncovering creativity and embracing femininity in a male-dominated industry, all while holding onto unwavering self-belief. This journey has taken me across continents, introducing me to countless people who have shaped my path, especially the remarkable roles of women who have played an indispensable part in helping me reach where I am today.
