A little about me

Thanks for stopping by! I’m a passionate and creative Communication and Digital Media student currently based in Madrid, Spain. Over the past few years, I’ve gained hands-on experience in marketing, communication, and hospitality through various internships. I can speak French and English fluently and aim to apply these linguistic skills to all my future projects. 

I am people-oriented, hardworking, determined, and thrive in collaborative environments. My dedication to detail, creativity and my ability to think out of the box has allowed me to contribute to impactful marketing strategies and events. I strongly believe in the power of storytelling and innovative communication to connect with people and create meaningful experiences.

EXPERIENCES

With a strong foundation in hospitality, marketing, and customer service, I have cultivated a diverse skill set through a variety of internships at prestigious organizations.
Each experience has enriched my understanding of dynamic business environments and sharpened my ability to adapt, learn, and excel in various professional contexts.

The bakery where I worked
June – July 2024

Ritz Paris Le Comptoir – Paris

I have completed an internship at after 2 months in the Sales (within the shop), Communication and Marketing department.
This internship has equipped me with a strong understanding of the management of an establishment named best pastry in the world 2024. One of the most rewarding aspects has been improving my interpersonal skills with customers as well as adapting my approach to work in such a place where everyone has a very precise role.

Afterwards, working in the Communication and Marketing department has required diligence, creativity, and rigor through the various tactics and tools used to promote the products I have learned about. Enhancing the brand image and engaging with the target audience through social media platforms was also a major goal I needed to achieve in my role.

I did an observation internship of two weeks at Caron Perfumes in the communications and marketing sector. There, I was able to sort and organise files, I participated in digital marketing meetings and I studied company archives.

Four Seasons George V – Paris

As my first professional experience, I did a work internship at the George V. I rotated between all operational unites including front office, spa, housekeeping and room-service. I also cleaned windows, lay room service tables and delivered to rooms, managed mini-fridge amenities.

BLOGS

Welcome to my blog session where you can discover more about my internship experiences and lessons I learned from working, especially at the Ritz Paris Le Comptoir. 
I also have interests outside of work such as Wildlife photography. I learned taking good pictures through my binoculars which led to a very original result!
Here are my best pictures taken during my trip to Tanzania in 2019.
