public speaking

Run from the microphone? No. I step up.

Winner of the INSA Hauts-de-France public speaking contest in November 2025, then 2nd in France out of eight finalists at the Inter-INSA x VINCI national final in January 2026. Technical skill is the foundation, speech is the signature.

Discipline forges excellence. Habit creates consistency. Consistency leads to success.
