Professional vision and objective
Qualified in cultural development projects, my professional ambition is to promote cultural diversity whether local or
international. I have specialised in the coordination, organisation and promotion of environmental and cultural heritage,
from event management to publicity. I have also gained an expertise in the protection of intangible cultural heritage and
human development, notably with a view to sustainable tourism. I have a one year experience as a guide, a two years
experience in selling clothes, food, phones or I-phones cultural products (DVD, CD, books...) and a three years
experience as an expert in cultural projects. I want to continue to work in culture, tourism, art’s market or foundations.
