Reporter, Politics

I joined the editorial team in May 2020 after working in journalism for a decade elsewhere. I spent most of my career at Reuters before joining Contexte. There, I covered sports news, court cases and the ups and downs of French politics. At Contexte, I started on the energy and transport sections in Paris, then moved to Brussels in January 2021 to launch the “Environnement” section. In June 2022, I joined the “Pouvoirs” section.

I wrote an unusual European Union dictionary (<em>Dictionnaire insolite de l'Union européenne</em>), which was published in March 2025 by Cosmopole.
