Hey there Fauve, it’s good to have you; can you first introduce yourself and tell us a little about you? What kind of hobbies do you have?

Hey Chris! Thank you for having me! I will try my best to introduce myself. Where do I start. I am a highschool drop-out (wow you’re probably thinking already haha), I worked for a few years in events organization and production for multiple music and art festivals in Canada (POP Montreal and Evenko), had my own events going on with a whole team.

Then, got bored, decided to go to university. I only had to do an extra year of university because I didn’t have college or what you call it in English, in French it is different. I did Environmental Sciences in French, got a diploma and then transferred to PR, Public Affairs and Policy in English. I finished and now I am working for State of the DApps and working on a few personal projects.

Throughout all those years, I always kept working in fields focused on teamwork. I really enjoy working from home and travelling, but I need interaction with people and thrive on them. I worked a lot with with kids in sports, all kinds of sports. I love doing sports! If on my own I will choose individual sports, but hell, let’s play a game of hockey or soccer, or race each other!

I have kept Thai boxing, cycling and running on my side for many years. I grew up doing classic figure skating for 12 years, competing nationally and teaching it. Also, give me a book or good movies and I won’t stop; or bring me to live shows or good dj show and let’s have a beer!

I decided to try Ukulele…I can tune it but cannot play, dare to ask me to play it and I will make your ears bleed. I swear.

How did you get involved in State of the Dapps?

Very spontaneously! I was always fascinated by cryptocurrencies and the decentralized world, but knew nothing of it. Throughout the time at my university, the crypto world kept on creeping up to me. Started reading more about it, talking with a few people in my surroundings and the more I read the more I felt intrigued and I had seen the website of State of the dApps before, which overwhelmed me (a newbie!).

I thought to myself “Wow this is a whole new world, like an iphone with apps but in another format”. However, I kept on going back on the site, I wanted to understand it, understand more!

One day I decided to look for jobs on the Blockchain and more precisely on Ethereum, and State of the DApps was looking for somebody with my skill sets! PR, communication and community building skills. Wow! I can do this! I applied and here we are!

What is the most interesting thing about Ethereum to you?

First of all, the fact that Ethereum was inspired by WoW I find to be pretty cool. The little gamer in me has to come out once in awhile.

Second, one of the most interesting thing about Ethereum is how it erases intermediary services, therefore, a direct interaction between the two interested parties. Way simpler and transparent.

In politics, economics, education, administration, we are all frustrated because we never know who is really behind the transaction, behind the “special call” we never have a name of a face. Well Ethereum, gives you that!

Third, for personal interest, I really am looking forward how Ethereum and the Blockchain can be utilized for education. Nowadays, the education system is extremely narrow minded, as there is only one way to do it and that is at fault. Why? Well, because not one human being is the same than the other one.

Therefore, we do have different ways of retaining information, comprehending material and interests. Many people are indirectly told they are less intelligent at school due to their inaptitude to follow the curriculum, but that is false. We just need to approach the issue from different angles. Ethereum and the Blockchain can offer that. I am excited!

What has been the most rewarding part of working in the crypto community?

How everyone is so eager to push the technology forward, to break certain barriers down and make people from all around the world included in this revolution. I feel like we are all a huge team working together! Also, I am being intellectually stimulated on a 24/7 basis.

You mentioned being somewhat of a digital nomad tell us more about that, has crypto changed that for you?

Yes! I already had in mind to travel and live in different cities, but I expected my stays to last longer. Now being in the crypto ecosystem, I will be moving from city to city and staying in each for approximately 3–4 months (nothing is set in stone), in order to broaden my network and push State of the dApps forward all around the world. Next location is Berlin “Ich bin ein Berliner” Wooo!

Are there any particular projects in Ethereum that have your attention?

The projects that have my attention are concentrated on energy and environment, or education. Both are extremely important fields, which can have major social impacts and improve the conditions of everyone around the world.

Better access to education, equals more educated people globally. Energy and environment, equals hypothetically more land and food for everyone.

You’re involved in Muay Thai boxing and somewhat of a movie nerd, tell us all about how you got involved in that, and what’s your favorite genre of movie?

I got involved in Muay Thai boxing because I have always been attracted to boxing since I was a kid, but of course my mother would not let me do such violent sport, so I played other sports. Took a break, and then it was time to get to boxing whatever other people had to say about it. I have a lot of energy to spend, it is a great way to learn technique and tire yourself out.

Favorite genre of movie, mmmmm that is hard to answer… as long as the storyline is good and different, good camera work, good dialogue…. I enjoy movies that concentrate on social interactions; people fascinate me and learning more about it is always welcome. I like to observe. The Lobster was a great one! The movie Tommy also, I will be impressed if you know which one I am talking about.

How can the community get more involved with what you do at State of the DApps?

Reach out to me and tell me what kind of cool project you are working on. I’d love to help. I would love to amplify your story to the world.

Are you part of any other projects in the Ecosystem?

Yes, one is to push forward women in blockchain! My other project for now will remain secret ssshhh ;) I can only say that they will revolve around DApp creation and community. You can check out a sneak peek of what i’ll be working on here.

It’s inspiring to see newcomers working in the brand new field of Ethereum, why do you find decentralization so important?

In short, it rings my ears: “Anything is possible!” Isn’t that inspiring and promising, people are reuniting to work and collaborate together more and more. Let’s keep up the good work.

Glad to talk Fauve, good luck with State of the DApps; always happy to see newcomers with passion about the community and tech!
