Pascale is a consultant and trainer in environment and human skills. She is convinced that the preservation of species and habitats requires a change in the behavior of those who use natural resources, and that our relationship with nature is constantly evolving. Her involvement with Oceania, through its actions on behalf of cetaceans, contributes, in her view, to raising the bar in the evolution of the relationship between man and his environment.

After a degree in marine biology at the University of La Rochelle, Cindy turned to dance, yoga and pilates, which she has been teaching on Moorea since 2018.
Her encounter with Charlotte and the Oceania association enabled her to reconnect with marine biology, specifically within the photo-identification program.
