Strong of 35 years of experience, I offer professional journalism services, crafting compelling, well-researched stories and articles designed to inform and captivate audiences.
I launched my journalism career at 16, freelancing for Science & Vie Junior, a leading scientific magazine for teens. After honing my skills with two years of study at CFPJ (Paris Journalism School), I graduated in 1998.
Science & Environment
From 1996 to 2000, I contributed numerous in-depth stories and investigations to Science & Vie, France’s oldest and most widely read scientific magazine, covering palaeontology, zoology, biology, genetics, and environmental topics. My proudest accomplishment was an 18-pages cover story exploring dinosaur parental care.
Pet Care & Companion Animals
Pet care has been at the heart of my work for over three decades. In 1998, I became the leading French specialist in small pet care journalism, serving as a columnist for 30 Millions d’Amis, the country’s most-read pet magazine. My contributions continued for over 25 years, covering practical advice and scientific insights for pet owners.
Aquariums & Aquatic Life
From 2008 to 2017, I contributed to aquarium-focused publications, both in French and English, expanding my reach within the international aquatics community: L’Aquarium à la Maison, Amazonas, Practical Fishkeeping.
Pet Industry & Market Trends
Since 2018, I’ve written for pet industry media including Pets International and Animal Distribution. As the pet industry is one of my key areas of expertise, I bring both editorial skill and sector insight to my articles — covering trends, innovation, retail strategies, and consumer behavior across global markets.
