During her internship at Saint Gobain Pont à Mousson, she spoke with numerous executives and engineers who reinforced her decision to continue at ESFF. She therefore decided to apply for a program at ESFF to obtain a double degree.

Today, she is discovering industrial fields with a great deal of cutting-edge science and technology: "The processes are complex and varied."

If she had to give advice to students to encourage them to pursue a career in foundry and forging, she would talk about the modern and innovative nature of the industry she has discovered. In her opinion, the field is not well known and there are many activities involving processes that require mastery of calculation and simulation tools.
