What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters creativity and collaboration, where I can utilize my communication skills to drive impactful projects and engage with diverse audiences.

I am an experienced press relations assistant with a strong background in media communication and client relations. My journey has taken me through various roles where I have honed my skills in preparing media plans, writing press releases, and expanding networks with journalists. At Editions Glenat, I successfully managed media follow-ups and newsletter distributions, enhancing our outreach and engagement.

In addition to my press relations experience, I have worked in retail at Crunchy Roll during Japan Expo, where I developed client relationships and contributed to revenue growth. My role as a showroom manager at François Pinet allowed me to refine my B2B client interaction skills, ensuring a high level of customer satisfaction and service delivery.

Throughout my career, I have been committed to promoting cultural initiatives and enhancing brand visibility. My volunteer work with various organizations has further solidified my expertise in strategic communication and event coordination. I am passionate about leveraging my skills to contribute to dynamic teams and impactful projects.
