Résumé
PhD Student in Finance at ESSEC Business School

About
I am currently a PhD student in Finance at ESSEC Business School, focusing my research on the intersection of corporate finance, asset pricing, sustainability, and AI. My academic journey builds on prior training in finance and management, as well as hands-on professional experience in corporate financial analysis, auditing, and lending finance.
Previously, I worked at Banque de France as a Corporate Financial Analyst, where I assessed credit risk and corporate ratings, and at KPMG as a Financial Auditor, analyzing financial statements and ensuring regulatory compliance.
At ESSEC, I have also been a Teaching Assistant for Financial Management (MBA class) and a Student Financial Analyst for the Goldman Sachs 10K Small Businesses program, evaluating SME financial health. I am an active member of the Shaping the Future of Finance Chair, contributing to research on the evolving links between finance, ESG, and sustainability trends.
