I graduated from INSA Strasbourg Engineering School in 2005 with an Engineer Degree in Mechanic.
Since graduation my work experience has been with one international automotive company in logistic and purchasing functions and with a national company in aeronautic purchasing.
I was interested in broadening my skills and utilizing my background for an international experience. Therefore I am now commodity Buyer for Valeo in USA.
