After studying mechanical engineering at EPFL, I worked for five years in the railway industry at Hitachi Energy in Geneva. Enriched by these years of industrial work experience, I decided to fulfill a long-standing desire to get to know other work cultures and ways of life by spending a year abroad. For six months, I joined a local ONG in Togo and later I traveled around South America while practicing my Spanish.
