BIOGRAPHY
Not entirely French,
nor entirely American —
both at the same time.
"There are lives that don't fit into a single box. Mine is proof of that."
Trained as a lawyer, Vanina Joulin-Batejat crossed the Atlantic and settled in California with her family. Six years after setting foot on American soil — suitcases and cheeses included — she took the oath and became a citizen of both countries.
In 2008 , she founded USAFrance, LLC and has since assisted hundreds of French entrepreneurs and executives in establishing their businesses in the United States. A speaker for Essilor, Thales, Airbus, and BioMérieux, she leads intercultural seminars that transform the way Franco-American teams work.
Author of semi-fiction novels and professional guides, she also defends the French language in California alongside the Alliance Française branches in San Diego, UCLA, USC and UCSD.
