Lili was born in France and she’s fluent in English, French and Spanish. She is a born globetrotter and visited many countries before settling down in Mexico, as she fell in love with the beauties of the Mexican caves, and met her partner in diving and live.

She has a French degree as a sport educator and worked over 10 years as a professional personal trainer in France and Argentina alike.

She became a professional in 2014 and became a technical and cave diver the same year. Since then, she logged over 1,000 cave dives and became a TDI Instructor in 2015. Lili is a dedicated side-mount cave diver and is commonly diving stage/multi-stage side-mount configuration.
