Doctor in sociology specialised in health issues.

She completed a thesis (2014) on geographical and social inequalities in access to emergency care in France. Her research approach, which combines an immersion field survey and a statistical approach to the trajectories followed by patients before their arrival in emergency services, reveals the existence of a system of access to care with several social speeds. She is currently pursuing her work on social and geographical inequalities in access to care by studying, among other things, the use of connected tools in the field of private health transport.
