Her childhood and studies

During childhood Emmanuelle moved a lot with her parents, but it was mainly in Paris and Lille that she lived the longest before setting on the Cote d’Azur. With a diploma in communication and advertising in her pocket, she began her professional life as a designer/editor. To complete her education, she went to the Beaux Art option Multi Media in Tourcoing. She became a regional correspondent specializing in culture for one of the first art internet sites -launched in Beaubourg in 2000- for the section “Tours and detours of contemporary art”. Besides her studies, Emmanuelle is passionate about dance, cinema, and theatre : she writes her first play at 8 years old. Very soon immersed in this world of culture, she naturally makes it her area of expertise.
