ABOUT ME
I am French, I grew up in Moscow, Russia, and I lived in Berlin and Helsinki during my studies. Traveling around and being curious about other cultures have always been in part of my everyday life. This is also why I wanted to work in academia: I am enthusiastic to share ideas and knowledge, in an international context.
​
I entered the Master of Science in Management program at EMLYON Business School after two years of studies on economics, mathematics and literature (French "classes préparatoires"). In parallel, I completed a French Master Degree in Research in Management at the University of Lyon III: during this degree, I discovered research in social sciences and I got convinced that I wanted to pursue this path further.
The first two years of my PhD were dedicated to classes on various research topics and methods in management. During this time, I entered the OCE research center, focused on political approaches on management, were I met my current supervisors, David Courpasson and Mar Perezts. My thesis examines platform economy with an ethnographic approach. More precisely, I tackle the tension between the digitalness of platforms and the concreteness of practices realized through these platforms.
​
Apart from academia, I am passionnate about mountaineering, climbing and trail running. This passion for outdoor sports feeds my scholarly ambition to examine the role of body and space in contemporary society.
