I first started competing in cross-country skiing, then in biathlon, when I joined the Savoie committee and the sports section at middle and high school.
Then when I discovered the freedom to run and ski in the mountains, I changed direction, so that it was compatible with my studies as a midwife.
I then had to take a break between 2011 and 2014, with the birth of my 2 daughters, and many personal projects.
I have been racing internationally for 2 seasons now, as part of Team La Sportiva!
And last year, I won the World Cup of VK, it was huge!
