Thank you so much for doing this with us! Before we start, our readers would love to “get to know you” a bit better. Can you tell us a bit about your childhood backstory?

I grew up in France in a little town in the countryside an hour North of Paris.

My dad left our home when I was young. I grew up in an all-female household with my mother, my grandmother, and my sister. That served me well in my career working in a male-dominated industry. I never saw any difference between what they could accomplish and what I could; I felt equal and confident I could achieve anything I wanted.

One thing that I remember vividly as a kid is that I wanted to travel the world. Somehow, I knew that I would live abroad one day. I remember watching many TV series dreaming that one day I would live in North America....
