She was born and raised in Nancy, but moved to Jerusalem at the age of 17 and studied life sciences at the Hebrew University.[1] Five years later, she came back to Paris and worked as a journalist. [1] She studied with well-known Jewish scholars, such as French philosopher Marc-Alain Ouaknin and ex-Chief Rabbi Gilles Bernheim, and eventually moved to New York and studied at Drisha Yeshiva.[1] She was ordained at the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion in New York in 2008, and later returned to France.
