As I trust the best way to learn about people’s experience is to spare them twenty minutes over a cup of tea, here you will only read about my feelings regarding those experiences and what I got out of them. Now if you wish to know more, you can always give me a call so we can have a live chat!

Two years working after graduating taught me a lot. In 2009, I was looking for a great experience abroad, a real thrill, an experience that would differentiate me from the crowd and put unforgettable memories in my head. I also needed a job where I could make good use of my skills and all the knowledge accumulated over the years. This is why when the opportunity to go to India presented itself, I couldn’t quite ignore it. Within a few days and after multiple successful phone and Skype interviews, I decided to go for it and to combine both an immense professional challenge with an almost unrealistic personal one. Professionally speaking, working in India is quite an achievement thanks to which I acquired patience and was able to test my adaptability against extreme situations. Being immersed in such a different cultural environment can be awfully stressful and one has to find ways around the lack of points of reference. Ultimately, being side by side with poverty and misery makes you think a lot. It can only make you realise how lucky you have been. Who would I be not to pursue my dreams when I have the means to do so? Here’s the question I have asked myself for a long time when I was there. This resulted in the most significant progress in defining both my professional and personal ambitions.

From then on, I had to do all I could to pursue my dream of setting my foot in the film & TV industry and become a producer. I left India in 2010 and went to Paris where I started looking for a job making the most of my language skills and which would not require overclocking. I wanted to focus on my own projects, read books, meet people, watch movies again, etc. For a year, I have met incredible people at work such as heads of top computing and media companies and even esteemed government officials. But ultimately the whole point of this year in Paris was to create a useful network of professionals in the industry, to earn enough money to be able to afford a Masters in the UK which would give me the tools to work internationally, and to be honest, it was also to get to know a city that I didn’t so far and to enjoy its many exceptional cultural resources.

All of this, and all of the other experiences: the advertising and PR studies in France and in Scotland, the short-movie festival creation, the internship at Paris’ cultural affairs; all of these experiences brought me here today, and I am exactly where I want to be. I am on the verge of kicking off my career in the film & TV production industry and to give way to my ambitions.

Before Mumbai and Paris, I have had many experiences. All these are detailed in my CV although many summer or student jobs aren’t. If you are interested in knowing more about my most significant experiences, I would advise you to visit my profile on Linked In . It is quite comprehensive and I am sure it can give you a clearer picture of what I’ve done so far.
