Discover Top Documentary DPs in Paris, Ãle-de-france, France

I am a bilingual French English journalist who grew up in the Alps. I studied International Journalism at Cardiff University, where I graduated with a distinction. My main area of interest lies in geopolitics and human rights. I investigated the effects of religious nationalism in Armenia, questioning democratic processes and the roles played by the church in society and politics. I have shot and edited stories on refugees from Calais to Cardiff, but also covered cultural topics from sneaker trends to the art of graffiti. Former BMX-race athlete, I am a sport-addicted which led me to cover women and girls in sport and other punchy stories including on the business of Mixed Martial Arts. By nature, I am curious and adventurous, I like to observe new cultures and to learn from people. Having travelled in many countries, I have a multicultural and open-minded perspective of the world: I understand four languages. For me, journalism is a field of exploration and encounters. I like to listen, to feel, to perceive, to shoot pictures and to transcribe the experience by sharing these impressions through reporting. I am currently working for France24 for the French and the English channels. My reports have been published by InsideOver, Voice Of America, and Worldcrunch. I also used to work for several magazines and newspaper in France including L’Équipe, Courrier International and Le Dauphiné Libéré. I also used to be a reporter for the Paris-based Institute Open Diplomacy. As a young woman, I want to prove to my generation why journalism matters. I am convinced that understanding our environment requires a thorough study of the world. I believe journalism is a means of involvement and engagement. I want to share with society my passion for international news, and to convince others of its importance. Determination, tenacity and optimism drive my everyday life!

Raised in France, I always wanted to see the world. For that, I chose documentary filmmaking and videoreporting as an excuse to discover new geographies and chart the lives of others. Based in Cameroon the last 5 years, I covered the biggest news stories across the Central Africa, from refugee camps at the Central African Republic border to the northern cameroonian villages facing Boko Haram. More than 150 reports were broadcasted – from hard news to feature stories and documentaries – always with a common thread: meeting the « Other », respecting one’s word, questioning the truth. Although I was working mainly as a correspondent for France 24, I also reported for Canal+, TV5 Monde, Thomson Reuters and Cameroonian TV. Since a few months I am pursuing the adventure in South-East Asian country Laos, mainly reporting for AFP and Associated Press.
