Early life
editAfter a first year in literature, she obtained a degree in psychology and became a school psychologist. Elected mayor of Saint-Honoré-les-Bains in 1989, she also ran in 1993 in the elections of the 10th legislature of the Fifth Republic, where she was elected to the National Assembly. She left her profession as a psychologist to devote herself full-time to politics. Jacques Chirac appointed her to the Economic and Social Council from 1997 to 1999, where she is a member of the section and president of the Cultural Commission.
