I am passionate all about extractive metallurgy and smelting. The fact of seeing a metal in its liquid form is a kind of magic for me. Besides, data analysis and planning are two of my preferred skills; in my previous job I started as a Process Engineer and then I was promoted to Production Planner thanks to those abilities which I really enjoy.

After having worked for about 7 years, and always willing to improve personally as well as professionally, I decided to devote a couple of years to learn French, improve my English and come to Europe in order to have a late academical training. My experience showed me how dangerous metallurgy can be for the environment if not well managed. Consistently, and constantly eager for new knowledge and experiences, I came to France to deepen the environmental sciences.

Finally, thanks to my experience in industry I have excellent communication and staff management skills. I am convinced about the importance of soft-skills in a team-work environment.
