My History

*Time period*	*Diploma obtained, location and description*
2000-2001	International and E-Business training, *ESC Grenoble, France* Whilst working for the business school I was given the chance to study several courses related to the international and e-business MBAs in my spare time. Subjects followed include finance, marketing, law, human resources, change management, SCM, CRM and IS. At the end of the year I successfully passed all of the exams taken and I am in the process of having this level of knowledge ratified.
1996-2000	Physics with French BSc (2:1), Bristol University, UK Bristol University aims to educate students not only in their chosen subject but also in more general skills. To this end I took several additional courses such as Physics World (presentation and research skills) and the CRAC Management course (teamwork/leadership skills). The degree also includes one year studying Physics at a French university (Université Joseph Fourier, Grenoble). A report was also produced concerning this year abroad. As an extra point, for the 10000 word dissertation that had to be completed in the final year, I received a commendation.
1989-1996	GCSE's and A-levels Hayes School, UK A levels in Physics, Math, French and General Studies 10 GCSE’s covering most subjects

*Time period*	*Location, description*
Birth Date	Abidjan, Ivory Coast (Africa) Born: 08/09/1977
1 month-5 years old	*Garoua, Cameroon* Whilst I was in Garoua I attended a french nursery school (as it was in the french part of Cameroon) and also had good friends that were local to the area.
5-18 years old	Biggin Hill, United Kingdom A town very famous in the Second World War (and frequently bombed due to its important RAF base) I spent my early school years here and in the neighbouring town, up to A level (high school). This time included numerous holidays to Europe.
18-20 years old	Bristol, UK The capital of West England, situated 150 miles west of London, this vibrant and future focused town was my home during 3 of my 4 university years.
20-21 years old	Grenoble, France Situated in the heart of the French alps, Grenoble received me for my year abroad. Here I studied physics in French (no mean task) but more importantly I learnt how to live in a foreign country and became more open to different ideas and viewpoints. It's amazing how different England and France are, considering there is only a gap of 40 miles between them. Have a look at my report for more details.
21-21 years old	Bristol (again), UK This was my final year at University to finish off my degree and plan for my future.
22-23 years old	Grenoble, France I enjoyed my time abroad so much I decided to return. On my return trip I felt very much at ease and able to cope with any problems. My main motive to return was to strengthen my cultural empathy but also take up work at the ESC Grenoble to gain experience working in France and gain some hands on business experience.
24- present	France, USA- Travelling Once my contract had expired I decided to take some time out and travel the US and France before reutrning to England to build a strong business career. Whilst travelling I did take up several temporary work positions to pay my way, namely in a call centre and as a DJ
