About Me
I was raised in a multi-cultural environment in a French and Cambodian family. These origins fostered my eagerness to travel and discover new cultures, as well as my wishes to start my career abroad. Result-focused, team player and dynamic, I like setting myself challenges and started running after a serious back injury. My next objective is to run a 15km race
