I was born and raised in Paris, France. My mother is American and she has always been an English teacher in France. I grew up with her passion for teaching and mentoring people. Starting from when I was very young I would give skateboarding and guitar lessons.

I have an Associate's degree from the University of Orsay (in the South of Paris) in Instrumental Physics. I have tutored for a well known French tutoring company before moving to Los Angeles.

On my time off I love to skateboard. I was a professional for Quiksilver Paris until I sustained a knee injury. I play guitar and love music in general.
