I am currently the Peace and Security Programme Manager of the delegation of the European Union to Nigeria and to the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). I manage several security programmes in Nigeria and West Africa. My job involves collaborating with several United Nations agencies and peace-building stakeholders in Nigeria and the region. I am very proud to promote EU values and interests in this part of the world.

My studies have been the starting point of my international career. I first took a Master’s degree in International Relations and Modern History at the University of St Andrews (UK), followed by a Master's degree in Political Science at the Institut d'Études Politiques de Paris (France) with a specialisation in International Relations. In addition, I received a Master of Arts in European studies from the College of Europe in Warsaw (Poland), a few years before the accession of 10 new member states to the EU in 2004.

I have been working in EU affairs since 1997. Throughout my EU career, I have had the opportunity to work in several countries (France, Austria, Germany, Belgium, the Philippines and Nigeria). My personal identity has been shaped by my experiences in so many different countries and goes beyond France where I come from. Feeling European – and even a citizen of the world – is like a second nature to me!
