Your upkot coach
Virguine in a few words? History nerd, France fan and foodie. And about that last one: she loves sharing it with her students. Think food activities, lots of them. Besides being an Upkot coach, Virginie is also a full-time mum. And those mum skills come in handy. Heartbreak or exam stress? Virginie always knows what to do.
