Author Information
I
was born in Geneva from an English mother and an Italian father who both had
come to Switzerland to work in international organisations. I travelled a lot
when I was young visiting my two families in London and Rome. I went to school
in Geneva and after one year spent in England in an Art School, I went to
Geneva university where I got a masters degree in English, French and Italian
literature. I started teaching during my studies and never stopped. I got
married and had 4 children. Today I am still a teacher but am also responsible
for teacher training in my school and at university. I have been living for 8
years with my American partner whom I had dated when I was a teenager. After
having gone our separate ways we reconnected later in life and are living
happily together in Geneva although we spend a lot of time in California.
My eldest son is
an architect in Geneva, my eldest daughter has just obtained a bachelor at
Brunel University in digital design, my youngest son is studying economics in
Lausanne and my youngest daughter is enjoying a gap year doing voluntary work
in Costa Rica and New Zealand before starting medical school.
We all get on
well and are considered by friends and relatives as a “fusional” family,
whatever that means…
I started writing
articles at the age of twenty for an animal journal when part -time working in
a zoo. A few years later I wrote a collection of children’s stories. I recently
decided to write a book on adolescence in French which was published in
November 2018, I then made a longer adaptation of it in English and have
currently finished the Italian version.
