Charlotte Hym

Charlotte Hym is a French street skateboarder and neuroscientist based in Paris, born on 30 October 1992. She was born in Paris, grew up near Boulevard Richard-Lenoir and asked for a skateboard at twelve because so many people skated in her neighbourhood. She earned a bachelor's degree in sport sciences at Paris Descartes University in 2013 and a master's degree in neuroscience there in 2015, and in 2019 received a PhD in cognitive neuroscience and psychology for research on the effect of maternal voices on newborn babies in the laboratory of Marianne Barbu-Roth.
