Early life and education

She remained in neuroscience as a doctoral researcher, focusing on cognitive neuroscience at psychology in the laboratory of Marianne Barbu-Roth.[3] [4] She looked at the impact of maternal voices on newborn babies.[5] In 2019, she received a PhD degree in Cognitive neuroscience and Psychology from the Paris Descartes University.
