Hello Clemence, thank you for participating in my blog. Tell me about yourself. Where are you from? Why did you come to The Netherlands?

I am French, my parents both come from Normandy but I was born in the Alps.  I came to the Netherlands 8 years ago to follow my Dutch boyfriend. We had previously lived a few months in Toulouse and Montpellier in France and I wanted to discover his country and culture. I never left since!

Which is your job? Are you satisfied with it?

I work as a Sales manager for a bicycle company, I love my job, it is extremely diverse. I manage an amazing team, travel to beautiful places in South of Europe, and help make cities greener. 

As a sucessful woman, what did you do to reach your goal? Do you have more goals in life?

I think that my family’s education and support helped me a lot to reach my goals. Having lived across many countries when I was young, I learned how to adapt to different cultures, be independent and face challenging situations. I also studied and tried different working environments to find out which path I really wanted to follow.  Now, I have many more dreams and goals. Some are achievable like having my own vineyard, wine bar and B&B in south of France together with my family. And some maybe not but that keeps me motivated every day!
