What is your current position?

In August 2022, I joined the Renmin University of China as an Assistant Professor in Human Resource Management and I currently still hold this position. In 2012, Renmin University along with three French institutions, the Universities of Montpellier, La Sorbonne and Kedge Business School, created a Sino-French Institute whose ambition is to train high-potential Chinese students in the fields of finance, economics, management, applied foreign languages and humanities.

How has TSM helped you accomplish your projects?

TSM, and more specifically the doctoral programme, has helped me develop my academic career in many ways. First and foremost, it provided me with a high-quality academic training which allowed me to become a rigorous researcher and to develop my comprehension of the academic world. Moreover, through interactions with colleagues, participation in seminars and conferences, teaching students from a broad horizon, I received international exposure that enhanced my adaptability skills, which have proven to be essential in my new position in China.

What values of TSM do you use every-day?

The most important values I inherited from TSM and that have been guiding my everyday work so far are integrity, academic excellence, and benevolence.

What is your best memory of TSM?

My best memory of TSM is making life-long friends in the programme.
