Currently working as Project Manager at DAAC Guyane, this Franco-Brazilian researcher has a rich background in public health, anthropology, and intercultural mediation, with significant experience working with indigenous populations in both French Guiana and Brazil.

A former teacher with the Wayãpi community at Trois-Sauts (Upper Oyapock River) for the French National Education system, he completed a Master of Research degree in anthropology through immersive work with this community, with whom he maintains close ties. In recent years, he has conducted several ethnographic expeditions alongside the Wayãpi, exploring their ancestral lands along their migration route to Trois-Sauts, before later working for several years with the Wayãpi in Brazil.

With extensive expertise in Amerindian health, bolstered by specialised training in Indigenous Health Participation and Social Control (Oswaldo Cruz Foundation, 2023), he possesses essential skills for projects requiring a respectful approach to cultural particularities and the integration of practices adapted to the values of the Wayãpi. His fluency in French, Portuguese, and English, along with his ongoing study of the Wayãpi language, make him particularly well-suited to fully engage with the Wayãpi, with whom he has built a trusting relationship over years of involvement. Projects within this community would greatly benefit from his understanding of indigenous worldviews and his experience in managing community projects to address the challenges faced by indigenous populations in French Guiana and Amapá.
