Brief RESUME
Professional ​
info​​
​Teaching underpriviledged children was my first job as a volunteer in Senegal with the French Red Cross. Two years later, I went back to Europe to carry on my studies while still working in Education as part timer. With the degree in Business management I believed that a better paid job in Finance will be more beneficial and I have been assigned to install an IT system fitting the company's needs. When everything was set up, few years later, the monotonous routine started. Looking back to my previous jobs, I realised that each day or year in Teaching was different and how Teaching was more a vocation than a job.
Overall, it took me a long time to realise what I really wanted to do in my life. However, I have no regret as far as the long way enabled me the acquisition of many different skills that are becoming essential in the Teaching domain. In fact, the beauty in teaching appears when I reached the conclusion that in fact, the more I know, the more I know that I don't know that much...
