I am a nutritionnist and have been vegan for 9 years. After volunteering for different organizations, I have made activism my job since 2022.
My jobs :
2022 - until May 2024 : School Plates and political campaigns manager for the French Vegetarian Association (AVF). Among the works I am proud of are :
Organizing and holding an event at the Parliament to talk about meat consumption and how to reduce it.
Learning how to work with elected officials, by writing them questions for the government, law amendments, or participating in official events like their conventions or summer universities.
Creating and managing a fundraising campaign to have ethical veganism legally acknowledged as a protected belief at the European level (the legal decision is still pending, but the fundraising campaign was a big success!).
From June 2024 : Fundraising manager for Co&xister, an NGO working on animal farmers' reconversion in Switzerland and expanding its activities in France.
As a nutritionist, I basically came into the NGO by doing a 5-week internship at Co&xister in December 2022, and wrote my dietetics memoir about how reconversion leads ex-animal farmers to change their diets to plant-based, and how these changes, simultaneously professional, psychological and nutritional, have an overall very positive effect on their health and general well-being.
I am now launching Co&xister's fundraising campaign to grow and expand its missions, as a volunteer, and will be recruited as a fundraising manager from June 2024 on.
I will continue to partner with Co&xister, free of charge , on the nutritional part, as during the farmers transition, I offer them free consultations when they are ready to go plant-based and need support and informations.
