Outreach

Even though I have a strong affinity for fundamental research, I'm also equally passionate about taking part in outreach activities such as advocating for the recognition of women in science and sharing the marvels of science with a non-scientific audience or with students, both through public talks and teaching. You can contact me for presentations, both in English or in French.

Teaching & educational presentations

I deeply value teaching because it is such an efficient way to share expertise and inspire students to explore the scientific community. During my PhD, I led 90 hours of Astronomy and Astrophysics exercise classes and, in 2024, earned the French Maître de Conférences qualification. I've also presented what it’s like to be an astrophysicist and what our day-to-day work consists of at a secondary‑school careers fair two times.

Public activities for scientific associations

I regularly support the activities of local scientific associations in my spare time, in particular those of the Société d'Astronomie Populaire de la Côte Basque (SAPCB). I also participate as a public speaker in round tables, such as Chercheuses d'étoiles, organised by UPS in Space, and the Rencontres Transfrontalières d'Astronomes Amateurs, organised by the SAPCB, where I share my experience as a young researcher.

Scientific outreach

I really enjoy giving public talks as they are a great way to make astrophysics easy to understand for non-scientists. I was recently interviewed for a science documentary about black holes by the French YouTuber Zebroloss, who is the official representative for French-speaking countries in ESA’s influencer program.

Women in astrophysics

Recognising women in science is very important to me. I do my part to raise awareness, inspired by amazing women like Jocelyn Bell on the left picture. As a former member of the Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) office when I was at ESA,

I helped create changes to overcome the gender barriers that still exist in science.
