Ecole Polytechnique
In her third year at École Polytechnique, Nina specialised in the subject of ‘Energy of the 21st Century’. She is driven by a desire to find solutions to what appears to be the biggest ecological catastrophe humankind has ever faced. During her internship at Wewise this summer — a company that develops solar PV across Europe — she improved her communication and commercial skills. Although it was a constructive experience, she realised that an innovative scientific approach is the path she is looking for.
Although she is currently focusing on energy, she is still unsure of her future plans. There are many ways to limit the consequences of human activities. To clarify her professional and personal goals, she is considering taking a gap year, which would include a six-month internship and humanitarian work abroad.
Participating in the LeadHers mentorship programme would give her the chance to meet inspiring women from all walks of life. Through the programme, she hopes to gain a better understanding of professional life, as well as what she wants to do for a living.
