Currently finishing my bachelor’s degree in the management field at University of Lausanne, I’ve always been passionate about new technologies and their application in an educational environment. Along my studies, I’ve had the chance to work as a business specialist for a Swiss Apple Premium Reseller where I could improve my skills on the topic of education practice related to new technologies to better support schools and teachers in their digital transformation. More recently, I joined the "centre de soutien à l’enseignement" of University of Lausanne as an assistant to help teachers and students with the use of digital tools offered to enhance the learning experience. I’m definitely part of this generation of young people who want to see changes around me, and education is no exception. Learning technics could be improve and I’m proud to be at my own level part of this change.
