I started performing on stage at the age of 7 in Jean Racine’s hometown village—it felt like destiny! At 11, a theater troupe came to celebrate the playwright, and I had the opportunity to participate in my first professional show. Since then, I have never stopped acting. Throughout my adolescence, I worked with several troupes, touring all across France.

I truly love the team spirit within a troupe. I find great joy in every rehearsal and in the physical commitment that certain productions require. At 14, I began playing leading roles; my boldness and spontaneity worked in my favor. As I grew older, I focused more on technique by taking acting classes to refine my craft. I have always loved theater because I enjoy giving, evoking feelings, and sharing emotions. What I cherish most is all the preparatory work involved in developing a character, as well as the time needed to make a story my own. I’ve also always been passionate about the scenic aspects, paying close attention to the ideas and choices of the directors I’ve worked with, which naturally led me to pursue directing.
