FOUNDER AND DIRECTOR OF SAINT ANGE COMPANY
Very early on I was passionate about electronics and with friends I created several pirate FM radios, including Radio EVA, which was approved in 1983.
I also participated in the creation of the National Federation of Free Radios and the Private Radios Union.
Later, the Hit FM group, composed of UGC (films and cinemas) and RSCG (advertising), entrusted me with the management of one of their profit centers.
Then, the Hersant Group called me as assistant to the technical director of the Fun Radio network (150 stations).
In July 92, I moved to Vietnam and created in 1995 with Luu Thi Bach Lan (my wife) the company EMT (Euro Mekong Traders) Sourcing and Export company.
In 2009, following the relocation of the Colette school (Duras) and at the request of several parents of students, we decided to found the Saint Ange school, the only French school having obtained the license of international school.
Today, in addition to the general administration of the school, I am in charge of the promotion department, the technical services as well as the teaching of technologies for the students of the school.
FOUNDER AND DIRECTOR OF SAINT ANGE COMPANY
After studying accounting, I moved to marketing at the government company Bach Khoa HCM.
In 1991, the Korean company Dong Sun (cosmetics) entrusted me with the national sales management.
In 1994, with Frédéric, my husband, we imported our first container of French cosmetic products that we sold through the advertising pages of women's magazines.
Thanks to this experience, we are contacted by French importers for their sourcing needs in Asia. We created the company EMT (Euro Mékong Traders). In 2009, we founded the French school Saint Ange for which I obtained the international school license.
Today, in addition to the administration of the school, I manage all the contacts with the various supervisory administrations, the Vietnamese staff as well as the supply and logistics of the school's canteen of some 200 daily meals.
FOUNDER OF THAO DIEN CAMPUSES
ADMINISTRATOR
Former Bank Manager, I arrived in Vietnam in August 2013 with my whole family, for a complete change of life. From France, we had enrolled our children in the Saint Ange school, then directed by Frederic and Lan. We quickly sympathized with each other, so when the opportunity arose, we did not hesitate, and we partnered with them to set up the first Saint Ange campus in Thao Dien in 2014.
Within the Management, I am more specifically in charge of the daily management of the school, in connection with parents and teachers. My goal is to offer families the quality of French education in an international environment.
FOUNDER OF THAO DIEN CAMPUSES - PS /MS Teacher
Having grown up, and then worked, in the Early Childhood sector, it is with great pleasure and passion that I participated in the creation and then took over the Direction of the Nursery of Saint Ange in 2014.Our goal is to offer families a nursery that meets the standards of the French program, with a touch of the Montessori approach, all in a family environment.
PEDAGOGICAL DIRECTOR
Becoming a teacher has always been an obvious choice for me. After a degree in English and regional language, I obtained my master's degree in teaching and the school teacher exam in 2014.
Attached to my region, I chose to teach in French/Occitan bilingual schools in Toulouse for four years.
Since my childhood and my first readings, I have had a passion for Vietnam and when I came across the advertisement of the Saint-Ange school, I knew that it was an opportunity that should not be missed.
After 3 years as a CM1/CM2 teacher, I will now be in charge of all the classes since I have been given the role of pedagogical director.
I am happy to be able to coordinate the team, to propose new projects and to work in connection with the parents' association. I will put all my energy and enthusiasm in the service of the school project and the children's development!

For many years, I have been in charge of the "Grands" group, the TPS (2-3 year-olds), but this year I will be the teacher for the PS class (3 yo) and MS Class (4 yo) in Pre-school.
KINDERGARTEN TEACHER - MOYENNE & GRANDE SECTION (MS/GS)
TEACHER - CLASS CP
I graduated from my EJE program in 2018 IN France. After 7 months in a nursery, I want to discover the world while continuing to work with children. In 2019, I will engage in a civic service and fly to Vietnam. I work in 6 orphanages, participate in the daily life and propose psycho-educational activities. In October 2020, I join the Saint Ange crèche and then I took over the CP class in 2021. Joining a small structure means investing in a family environment where I can take the time to accompany families and children during the key stages of their development. I like the idea of participating in the construction of children's identity and transmitting universal values
TEACHER - CLASS CE1
I am originally from north-eastern France and taught for several years within the Nancy-Metz school district. Teaching has always felt like a true calling to me. I love supporting children in their learning, and watching them grow and make progress.
During my studies, I had the opportunity to undertake teaching placements in French schools in Barcelona and Luxembourg. This made me want to continue the experience, and I was subsequently fortunate enough to teach for two years at a French school in Colombia. It is therefore with great enthusiasm that I now look forward to getting involved in a new educational project at Saint Ange School.
TEACHER - CLASS CE2
I grew up in the south of France and studied at a sports university before sitting the primary school teacher recruitment exam in 2017. Having played sport from a very young age, particularly cycling, I developed a passion for hard work and sharing. I am now delighted to be able to pass these values on to my pupils in turn. In 2018, my wife spent a month working at an orphanage in Go Vap. That experience sparked a desire in both of us to return to Vietnam to live there. Today, I am very happy to be joining Saint Ange, its team and its family-like atmosphere.
TEACHER CLASS CM1
As a communications manager for over 15 years in a company, and then in my own agency, we decided to move with my husband and family to Southern China. We lived in Guangzhou for 5 years from 2019 to 2024.
It was there that I had the opportunity to fill in as a teacher in the only French school in the city, where my children went to school. The few weeks turned into years, and I flourished, first with a class of CE1 and then with a double level of CM1/CM2.
We enjoyed our experience in Asia so much that we decided to continue it in another host country: Vietnam.
So I'm very happy to be able to discover this beautiful country and, above all, to have joined the Saint Ange school for the start of the 2024-2025 academic year. Saint Ange has all the hallmarks that I'm so fond of: a family structure and a highly committed team.

TEACHER - CLASS CM2
I have always been drawn to the social sector, particularly working with children. I worked for several years in after-school programs, notably with children who were deaf or had disabilities, which enriched my experience and strengthened my desire to teach. After passing the teaching certification exam, I primarily taught kindergarten, a level I am particularly passionate about. I worked in both public and private schools in the Lyon region before moving abroad to fully invest myself in a classroom for the entire year and build a lasting bond with my students. For me, teaching is a way to pass on knowledge, build a relationship of trust, and create a real team with my students. After a memorable trip to Indonesia, Asia became an obvious choice. I am now delighted to be in Vietnam at Saint Ange, where I can combine my two passions: teaching and discovering new cultures.
ENGLISH-SPEAKING TEACHER FOR Kindergarten & CP, CE1
Holder of a Master’s degree in TESOL and certified to teach in the US, I taught for several years in the States before moving to Vietnam to experience living abroad. After an enriching experience in language centers, I am thrilled to join Saint Ange and return to a true school community environment. My goal is to inspire a love for the English language in my students, support them in their learning, and collaborate with a passionate team!
TEACHER OF FRENCH AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE (FLE)
I arrived in Vietnam in September 1990 as a volunteer teacher and had the great fortune to teach for two years at the French school Colette, which later became the French Lycée Marguerite Duras. I was then in charge of a vast program to set up bilingual classes within the Vietnamese educational system, which allowed me to perfect my knowledge in methodology and coordination of pedagogical teams. I joined the Saint Ange team in September 2020 and appreciated the professionalism and organization of the school. I am looking forward to meeting up with last year's students and certainly many others to help them integrate into their new classes and feel at ease with French.
COMMUNICATIONS AND MARKETING MANAGER
After graduating with a Master's degree in communications, I went straight to work for the Sarthe departmental council in Le Mans, where I stayed for 12 years, first as a journalist and then as a press officer.
During a solo trip, the energy of Vietnam grabbed me and I decided to come and live there in 2018. For 2 years, I was marketing manager in a French tourism agency here in Saigon. Then I seized the opportunity to join the Saint Ange team as communications and marketing manager, first part-time then full-time. Although you can sometimes wonder about the meaning of your mission, I'm proud to be able to do my job for something as exciting and rewarding as children and their future. All the more so in a school on a human scale with dynamic colleagues who all have a common goal: the development of pupils and the transmission of the values of French education that is open to the world.
The educational assistants at Saint Ange play an essential role in the life of the school and in supporting pupils. On a day-to-day basis, they assist pupils individually or in small groups, enforce school and classroom rules to teach pupils how to behave, ensure continuity of learning between the main teachers and those of English, technology, sport or FLE, and participate in the smooth arrival and departure of pupils from the school.
Security guards, cleaners, cooks, kitchen helpers and school transport staff work every day to ensure the safety and well-being of the children, a vital role within the school.
NURSERY ASSISTANT - in charge of the TPS
I come from Colombes, in the Paris region, where I worked as an emergency midwife.
As a child, I was lucky enough to travel a lot thanks to my mother's job with Air France. My husband and I soon had the desire to move abroad. After exploring several destinations, our choice fell on Vietnam, a country whose warm atmosphere seduced us and where we imagined our new life.
Coming from a family of four children, I'm ten years older than the youngest, so I looked after him a lot and I loved it. I always knew I wanted to work with children or for children.
I'm delighted to have the opportunity to work at the Saint Ange crèche. Not only does it allow me to speak French, but it also allows me to pass on essential values such as sharing, offering lots of affection and helping the children to manage their emotions.
