My personal story is one of constant self-improvement and change. I believe in personal evolution. It is simple: just keep an open mind and stay ready to take on the challenges that life will naturally present to you. I am presently working as a Compliance Officer in the direct selling industry, in a company present in 17 European countries. I hold a Graduate Diploma in Law from BPP University London and a Bachelor of Law from the University of Paris. Passionate about what I do, I am a no nonsense person. I have a strong ability to summarise complex situations to find out what is essential. I think that change is vital to every single organisation. I am always making lists and accomplishing tasks, which gives me a sense of reward. In other words, I am a doer. I do enjoy working in a team and implementing projects. Compliance is a support function, at the heart of any serious business. I truly enjoy helping my company and my colleagues to navigate a complex regulatory environment. Highly developed problem solving and research skills (I am curious about virtually everything), I am a specialist in European consumer law, but I am comfortable with all areas of EU law. I have a good working knowledge in Economics and Management from two years of studies in these areas; strong transferable skills, acquired in years of work in the public and private sector, including organizational knowledge, project planning and implementation, interpersonal skills.
