I arrived in the West Indies at the age of 6 and spent 2 years in South Africa during my life where I was able to perfect my English. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree  and then went on to do a University Diploma of Technology in Biological Engineering. After obtaining this diploma I worked for almost 3 years and then I resumed my studies in Guadeloupe at the Fouillole campus in biology ecology and evolution. I am in the last year of my Master's degree in tropical marine ecology option.

I am currently an intern on a study project to characterize a giant bacterium of the genus Thiovolum. The goal is to extract the genome of the latter as well as to characterize the cytoplasmic content of these bacteria and to propose a model of intracellular organization in prokaryotes with gigantism.

I have a lot of expectations about the results of my internship. Knowing that bacterial models responded to their energy deficit, which prevented them from growing, in my head is a bit like the missing link in the transition from the prokaryote to the eukaryote!
