About Me

I am a climber, student and traveller based in Bruxelles, BE.

I started climbing as a therapy 2 years ago as a therapy for my back. I was born with my last verterbra welded to my left hip.

My first steps in climbing were indoors to rebuild all my back muscles along my spine. And then I got interested in effective rock climbing. Because I wanted to be able the beauty of the movement with the amazingness of natural environment.

Climbing is for me a very important part of my life. I live to climb and climb to live for the medical reasons mentionned before.

I have big goals and aspirations as a climber and traveller. But I am also working hard to develop my brand as an ambassador for a healthy and happy lifestyle.

In Bruxelles, I am in my second year of external business (marketing/management)

My studies are combined with my job as a social media analyst, strategist and manager, and with my climbing.

"For it is in giving that we receive. " F.A.

Climbing

I started climbing on the first of July 2013.
During a period of time where my back wasn't too painful. I couldn't handle the time I was obligate to spend in a chair, without being able to move.
Climbing arrived in my life as a real new motivation and life saver.
I started climbing in a really intensive way. Wanting every day to push my limits further.
6 months later I went on rocks. And since then it's definitely what I prefer to do.

During autumn and winter, I spend my weekends in Fontainebleau and during the Spring and Summer I cherish sport routes and multi-pitches all over Europe.
During the week, I train indoor after my classes and during my breaks.
In addition to my climbing, I also do CrossFit® to work on my cardio - since I can't do long distance running due to my back.

I am getting really attracted by alpine routes and long multi-pitches but for the moment, I am focusing on making my back heal totally and in enjoying life through climbing harder.

travelling

Travelling takes a big part in my life.
I am currently living in a city for my studies, and so I need to move away from that environment to see the world and climb.
My favourite things about travelling are probably picking the destinations in function of what there is to climb, and then the planning of everything, and then once in the place, meeting the locals and climb with them.
Sharing good moments with them is for me important. We learn so much when we listen to them! And it's such a nice life experience!

inspiration

I enjoy to work on different arty projects.
One of my favourite has been a dance-climbing presentation in Belgium, on the belfort of Tournai in association with Antoine le Menestrel.

The art of the movement makes climbing beautiful. Being able to show it in a theater is an amazing experience. Bringing people closer together and getting them in touch with a new sport and a lifestyle.

SOCIAL MEDIA

I am employing several social media platforms to create a community around my lifestyle. And to reach out to more people than I would otherwise

What can I do for you?

I can help expand the presence and visibility of the brand worldwide through the use of my personal profile, pictures, videos, social media, blog and website. But also through my visibility at the climbing wall or at the CrossFit© Box and in the places where I practise slacklining.

I am travelling often, this makes I am in a great position to spread brand awareness. All my trips/projects are varied and target a wide group of climbers and outdoor lover around the world.

I can provide valuable feedback on the latest products through field testing in a variety of situations.

I am a good public speaker and will happily be involved in running slideshows and lectures as well as being present at trade fairs and brands event.

What I am looking for?

Foremost, I am looking for a confortable and technical clothing brand with who I could evolve.
I find it important to support a brand that is respectful for the environment and for humanity.

I would love to work with a brand that will support my projects and travelling and that I could promote around.

Communication is for me really important and I make it a very important point in the ambassadorship relation with a brand.
