Despite her very Parisian style, Maryam grew up with her sisters in Casablanca where she learned to drive on steep roads and read the subtleties of Arabic poetry. She moved to Menton for her studies and spent a lot of time at the beach, at acting workshops, or vernissages. After pursuing a Masters in finance and realizing (of course!) that she did not want to work at a consulting firm, she left Paris to come to Albertine and discuss the genius of Wajdi Mouawad at length with anyone and everyone that comes her way. If you ever need a passionate recommendation on an obscure philosophy book or info about Abdallah Taia’s latest work, look for a girl with curly hair and stylish boots at Albertine!
