The daughter of a Swiss father and a Belgian mother, she was born in Mons and grew up there and in Brussels. She studied Latin and Greek at the Athénée Royal de Rixensart, then spent a year at Goshen College in Indiana and went on to study journalism and communications at the Université libre de Bruxelles.
