I am
a French journalist, based in Goma in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo. I write for Associated Press, Le Figaro and Radio Netherlands Worldwide, among others. Writing is what I love, whether journalism, fiction or poetry. I also like taking pictures and weaving sounds into evocative radio reports. I specialize in conflict and humanitarian reporting, but my secret dream is to cover the Paris Fashion Week and go in outer space.
Before living in Congo, I have worked for the Institute for War and Peace Reporting in The Hague, covering the International Criminal Court and producing a radio show on justice broadcast in eastern DRC. I have also reported on post-war Sri Lanka.
I graduated in Politics and East European Studies from University College London (UCL) and in International Journalism from City University.
