Career

I graduated with a dual degree in French law and common law from the Paris Nanterre Université ; obtained an LLM degree from the University of Chicago, and was sworn in the New York Bar in 2019 and the French Bar in 2020.

I pursued internships in domestic family law, international family law in law firms in France, as well as a foreign law clerk position at the Supreme Court of Israel in 2020.

I have practiced international family law since I became a lawyer at Libra Avocats, where I have built an experience and was trained in that field.

I won the Young Lawyers Award of the IAFL in 2021 based on my paper on the Hague Convention of 1980 on child abduction.
