"I grew up in historic Strasbourg, France , on the eastern border of Germany, separated by the famous Rhine River. As a child, I disassembled everything or played with my little chemist's kit. Here I am, many years later, working as an engineer in a lab. Childhood dreams do come true. 
 
Almost 30 years ago, as a young graduate biochemist technician fresh out of Jean Rostand High School, I joined the quality control laboratory team at Lilly France Fegersheim south of Strasbourg. 
 
During the first years of my career as a laboratory technician, I was immersed in the Lilly quality culture. I understood the interest that we must take in the people who depend on us — people who rely on Lilly products to maintain their health, which for some it is a matter of life or death. 
 
As I gained experience, I continued my development by joining the laboratory equipment support team to become a Quality Control Process Engineer in the QC Incoming/Device laboratory. 
 
My job always guarantees the best reliability of the analytical systems and the highest level of quality possible. Everything I do at Lilly is guided by the awareness of the people we serve and the trust they place in us to ensure their best health. 
 
This awareness of others and my passion for dogs pushed me to combine these two components last year. I decided to join a canine search and rescue team with my Belgian Malinois companion, Rayka, to help locate missing persons in the Vosges mountains.

With Rayka, we form a perfect pair. We train, every week always with the desire to save lives. This desire is my purpose and comes from the years of experience I acquired working at Lilly."
