Currently working as an Electrical Systems Engineer Apprentice at EDF where I contribute to the design of general and miscellaneous electrical installations for nuclear power plants. I also assist technical leads in developing innovative tools and methods to improve engineering studies.
I am currently pursuing an engineer’s degree in Electronics, Electrical & Control Systems Engineering at ENSEEIHT. This program provides advanced training in electrical systems, automation, and power electronics, preparing me to contribute to innovative solutions in industrial applications.
From September 2024 to August 2025, I joined Saint-Gobain Eurocoustic as a Process & Energy Efficiency Apprentice. My responsibilities included coordinating energy efficiency projects and contributing to the plant’s energy roadmap.
From June to August 2024, I joined a Combined Cycle Thermal Power Plant (106 MW) as an Operations & Maintenance Intern where I contributed to preventive and corrective electrical maintenance operations.
From April to June 2024, I worked at Saint-Gobain Eurocoustic as a Process & Energy Efficiency Intern. I conducted techno-economic feasibility studies for strategic energy efficiency projects aiming to reduce energy consumption across the production plant.
From September 2022 to August 2025, I completed a Bachelor of Engineering in Electrical & Electronics Engineering at IUT de l’Indre, Université d’Orléans. During my second year, I served as an academic tutor, supporting first-year students accross multiple technical subjects.
In 2022, I was awarded a prestigious scholarship from the French Government, financed by TotalEnergies SE, to pursue my studies in France. It provided me with the opportunity to continue my education abroad and gain exposure to international perspectives.
