I turned professional at the end of 2010; in September 2010 I also started a course to become a teaching pro in Paris and I got my degree in September 2011. It takes normally 2 years, but I did it in 1 year.
I am now 26 and before that I studied for 2 years English and Economics in Université Nanterre, west of Paris.
In 2011 I played only 2 tournaments in total, Dinard Ladies Open and Murcia Ladies Open. I also went to LET Q-School 2012 and I did not make it to final stage by 2 shots.
Since then I have been practicing a lot…and my first event in 2012 has been the Terre Blanche Ladies Open.
My plans this season is to play as much LETAS events as possible and try to get the full LET card through it or, at least, get the opportunity to get directly to final stage.
