Up to my Freshman year, I wanted to be a virologist. Biology, genetics, viruses inspired me, I wanted to help and save people. In my Sophomore year, I realised that Biology was not for me. I loved it, especially genetics and virus systems, but I could not see myself working in a lab all day. Since Middle School, I have always loved Geology, volcanoes, learning how the Earth works, how Geology combines several scientific fields. I thought about Geology as a passion more than an actual job. Yet, I knew there were universities proposing cool Geosciences program that combined Earth Sciences, Oceanography and Climatology. I went for it, I had nothing to lose. At first, I was kind of disappointed, I was expecting a great program, learning wonderful things about Earth. I was ready for all of it. At the end, I could not understand anything (well, most of it) about what the faculties were teaching us, I thought about stopping the degree several times. But I knew that I needed a diploma at one point. So I pursued. During my junior year, I was an intern in a different University, discovering how scientists investigate the history of volcanoes. I get passioned about it, I knew this was exactly what I wanted to do. During my Master's Degree, I was an intern for 6 months in an american University (I am French), I discovered petrology, how lab analyses and modeling can help understanding magmatic systems. I learnt more in 6 months than during my whole university student life. More importantly, I discovered Planetary Sciences though conferences and reading groups. I did not even know that it was possible to study rocks on other planets! I get fascinated about Mars, I wanted to be part of a martian team, studying red volcanoes... Coming back to France, I directly contacted a researcher working on Mars petrology - not many researchers speak martian in France - and I ended up doing a Ph.D on Mars geology, working in the Curiosity rover team with two great advisors! Now, I am eager to pursue martian investigations!
