About me
French-US, from Paris, having lived in Paris, London, Madrid & Los Angeles. I studied music in Paris, art in London and astrophysics at the Paris Observatory. I worked as a lead photographer and journalist for lifestyle & art magazine Rise Tattoo Magazine, & guitar magazine Guitar Part. I write and host for several science shows centered on climate change and astrophysics. I do voiceover/dubbing for Netflix, ebooks, video games etc. in French and US English. I am also a visual artist, painter and glasswork; focused on astrophysics, my work has been selected by the Hubble Space Telescope, exhibited at New Scientist Live, Tate Modern and been featured by galleries and creative agencies like Yummy Colours. I have been training in Japanese jiu-jitsu for 15 years and teach self-defense to activist groups. In my spare time I love to chase auroras, tornados and eclipses.
