About Me

CURRENT MISSION

sharing my knowledge of french, swiss and other cultures, play the ukulele and the charango!

ABOUT ME

I'm an easy going person, I like to spend hours talking about live, science and whatever interesting. I'm also quite active, doing sports and training kids to play the rugby. I'm listening to a lot of music during the day so I always want to get new stuff, and I like to have fun with my ukulele. Here is one example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elEMUtnnLZE (I'm the ukulele not the blond girl :-))
I'm researcher in cognitive neurosciences interested in meditation, hypnosis and other fancy stuff (http://www.theassc.org/past_recipients).
Last but not least, I'm a 7 rugby player and coach for kids under 16.

PHILOSOPHY

je suis ni pour, ni contre, bien au contraire!
