Experiences
Project administrator
INSO
Since March 2023
- As administrator of the CDCS project, I am manage the organization of training courses (free of charge) given in high-risk areas by security management trainers to workers in the humanitarian sector: recruitment of participants, travel logistics, data management etc.
The Crisis and Support Center (CDCS) of the French Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs responds to crisis situations abroad, whether affecting French nationals or in the context of humanitarian crises. It is also responsible for anticipating crises (anticipation, preparation, monitoring, alert) and post-crisis situations (stabilization).
This position in the humanitarian sector enables me to put into practice both my journalistic training and my interest in the defense of human rights.
Head of communications and social media, executive assistant
Lycée Franco-Costaricien
January 2019
to April 2022
Costa Rica
- As the person in charge of communication (internal & external), I relay the news of the "Franco" (1000 students) on social networks, promote events (parties, open days, yearbook) and inform parents (mailings, website) and staff (teachers and administration). I am also the assistant to high school head of studies (middle school and high school) and manage the pedagogical secretariat: enrollments, exams, academic activities, projects follow-up, etc. This position is strategic because it consists in organizing the management of information between the different families of users of the school (students, families, management, teachers, administration, public).
This is a central position where everyone's questions converge, and it is necessary to answer them quickly and accurately (French, Spanish, English). It is also where ideas emerge to highlight the school's initiatives. The enormous potential of the community (students, parents, teaching and non-teaching staff, management, the agency for French education abroad managed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs) has allowed for the creation of a strong sense of belonging and the rebuilding of a bond of trust that is conducive to the dynamism of the school.
