Hello everybody,
I’m Juliette Bourden, originally from a region in the Southwest of France (aka the best one). I first started my studies in medicine and then went into chemistry, which led me to complete my bachelor’s degree in Bordeaux. But, as much as I like chemistry and my home, I’ve always wanted to go live abroad: for adventure, learning, and connection with people with different cultures.
That’s why I decided to pursue my master’s degree in the Advanced Materials: Innovative Recycling (AMIR) program. I wanted to embrace the international side of academia, to meet people from diverse backgrounds, and to get a taste of the world beyond my comfort zone. The industry-focused approach and the incredible opportunities in the AMIR program were a key point for me, and it promised to take my academic journey to new heights which wouldn’t have been the case in the masters I had in France.
Besides the academic side, I’m just your regular bookworm. I’ve been a heavy reader since I was a kid, and books have been my constant companions specially when learning new languages. When I’m not diving into a new novel, you can find me exploring new places, soaking up different cultures while traveling, and challenging myself by running half-marathons.
