“I liked mathematics and I began to take more
and more of an interest in physics. Thanks to that and a good
deal of fantasy, I naturally became involved in the aeronautics
sector. There's something fascinating about space, about making
an object containing humans fly and sending rockets into orbit!
It is very easy to love science, but defying it is much harder,
and that is what fed my curiosity.
After two years of preparatory classes at the ESTACA engineering
school, I started to develop an interest in the classes on aerospace
propulsion. I became more and more drawn towards aeroplanes:
how they function, their design, and how to make them more efficient,
more environmentally friendly and more economical. During these
five years, I had the opportunity to do several fairly long work
placements at various companies in the sector, where I discovered
all the aspects of an aeronautical engineer's work: management,
calculation, design, etc.
The
magic word in engineering is pragmatism. It is what helps you
progress! I believe that nothing is more important than sharing
and taking into account everyone's opinions. The fact that so
few young women take up this profession deprives the world of
their say on the matter. Their opinions in this field would certainly
help accelerate progress. The development of science relies just
as much on rigour than it does on diversity.
I plan to lead an independent life. My aim is to feel fulfilled
doing what I love, with the people I love and with those who
love me. I would like to work on innovative projects in aeronautics,
as part of a team that finds solutions to the problems of today
and applies them to the aircraft of the future. Working alongside
or under the orders of a woman in aeronautical engineering is
becoming possible. There is growing interest in the performance
of women in this field.” |
