A French national with a degree in sales, communication and public relations, Magali has 18 years customer relations experience within multi-cultural environments. With seven years’ experience teaching French in private and state schools, she is a part-time working mother. 

Diagnosed with Breast Cancer in 2017, she joined the Imperial CRUK Centre’s Patient and Public (PPI) Group during her recovery to make use of her unique experience to help the scientific medical community.

She has benefitted from the (VOICE) residential science course at Barts Cancer Institute, created especially for Cancer Patient Advocates. Passionate about service and treatment improvements, she engages with clinicians and scientists in research projects helping build bridges between patient communities and the science world.
