I had looked at what it was, but nothing more, she smiled. I was just resuming my studies in communication. And since it was about presenting a professional project on video, it was my colleagues who told me that it was a good opportunity to demonstrate that anything was possible."

Strengthened by her new diploma and her victory in the competition, the Biterroise is now considering changing path: "Today, I am still working at the Hérault departmental council, but I am monitoring opportunities to change branches. I love everything related to photography and communication."
