Curious to understand how things around me works, I was naturally attracted by chemistry. Five years in University allowed me to obtain my degree but also to be involved in student associations and to do two years of internship.
I can express my creativity through my job: product development. Discover new technologies and applying them in the most efficient way, proposed innovative solutions : what a challenge!
Team work is important. Laboratory is at the interface of most of internal departments (customer services, marketing, production) and suppliers.
Collaboration and communication, combining with technics, are the keys of success for the development of new products.
