Working since November 2019 within microstart as a receptionist, it has forged my conviction to give everyone the opportunity to be an entrepreneur. I am delighted and excited to continue working with microStart as an advisor to help entrepreneurs realise their ambitions.

With a Master's degree in Business and Development Studies, I have gained in-depth knowledge of economic issues and development challenges, with a particular interest in microfinance and its role in financial inclusion.

Throughout my professional career, I have had the opportunity to work in two renowned institutions committed to sustainable finance and socially responsible investment. These experiences have allowed me to develop extensive expertise in financing and supporting entrepreneurs, further strengthening my passion for microfinance.

I firmly believe that microfinance is a powerful tool for social and economic inclusion. It provides entrepreneurs, often excluded from the traditional banking system, with the opportunity to bring their projects to life and contribute to local economic dynamism. This belief drives me to support entrepreneurs by providing them with the necessary tools and guidance to succeed.

Passionate about the financial sector and driven by the desire to help others, I chose to join Microstart for its unique mission: providing financing solutions and personalized support to entrepreneurs often left behind by the traditional banking system.

Graduated in banking and finance, I have always wanted to use my skills for a noble cause. Thanks to an inspiring and dedicated team, I have discovered that it is possible to combine professional expertise with human impact.

Every day, I strive to help our clients bring their projects to life, offering them not only financial means but also the confidence and dignity needed to succeed in their entrepreneurial journey. Contributing to the realization of people's dreams is, for me, much more than just a job—it is a true calling.

As a teenager, I already wanted to contribute to a world where everyone could find their place and live with dignity. I first discovered the concept of microcredit in 2006 while working in the development cooperation sector. I then decided to pursue the specialization master's in microfinance, which had just been launched by the Solvay Business School of Brussels. At that time, microcredit was still relatively unknown in Belgium, and through various encounters, I was drawn more broadly into the world of entrepreneurship.

I spent 15 years supporting entrepreneurs within a Belgian bank specializing in services for self-employed professionals. And then, microcredit found its way back to me... I wanted to channel my passion for entrepreneurship and my skills into an institution dedicated to those excluded from traditional financial pathways and facing social and financial inequalities.

For me, working for Microstart is a wonderful opportunity to support people in starting or growing their small business and pursuing their ambitions.
