Nelly began contributing to Wikipedia as a volunteer in 2012, while also developing web projects related to her first profession, physiotherapy. Over time, she built a dual expertise in scientific writing and SEO, which led her to create kinedarbois.fr in 2019—a trilingual information website that now exceeds 150,000 monthly visits.

Seeing a growing need for professional support on Wikipedia, she founded Wikiconsult in 2022. While some American agencies had already integrated the importance of transparency into their Wikipedia services, French players were operating in the shadows. Nelly chose an approach that respected the encyclopedia’s rules, making her work visible and accessible. In three years, she has worked with over 120 customers on three continents.

Her expertise is recognized by the media: she’s been featured in podcasts and interviewed by leading French outlets such as La Croix and Challenges. She is also a member of the Wikimedia Consultants Network, an international group of professionals committed to ethical Wikipedia consulting.

Committed to direct democracy, decentralization, and consensus-based decision-making at the state level as well, she is co-founder of the political party Solution Démocratique, which aims to promote a Swiss-inspired political model in France.

Originally from the south of France, she now lives in the French Alps with her husband and their two children.
