Personal background: Born in Belgium and raised right outside Chantilly, France. We moved to the US when I was 16. I now spend my winters in Wellington, FL and summers in Chantilly, France with my significant other Nicolas.

In one sentence what is unique about your work? I'm able to merge two of my passions into one activity: equestrian sports and making the World a "better place"!

Why do you do what you do? Because I believe in helping others, doing good and being the change! Those are my #s: #life2inspire #dogood #bethechange. I am extremely lucky to be surrounded by amazing individuals who believe in doing the same, all right here in the equestrian community.

What inspires you? I'm pretty lucky as I get inspired quite easily but to give you an answer... I would say that it's by the people who believe in doing what's right, just because; by the dreamers of this world and by the visionaries who push the status quo; and lastly, I'm inspired by the passion, dedication and true love that you can find in athletes!

Describe your personal style: Classic, classic, and classic! Whether at work or riding, I believe that classic never goes out of fashion!

Your ultimate must-have. Yes, I'll admit to it: my Iphone! How did we manage before it? Otherwise, chapstick and mascara are a safe bet!

What superpower would you have and why? Fun question! I would say Time Manipulation because everything can be solved if you can control time!

What is next for you? I'm super excited to launch Life 2 Inspire as a nonprofit organization. Working with so many different nonprofits and young philanthropists, I saw a true opportunity to help young philanthropists "be the change" and "create the change that they wish to see in the World". Life 2 Inspire will do just that- link today's youth with causes they care for and give them the tools to make a difference. Donors and sponsors will get to pick whatever project appeals to their hearts.
