Born in the South West of France near Pau and fluent in French and English, Celine grew up riding horses on the family vineyard and started competing with thoroughbreds in eventing and show jumping at a young age.
After completing a Bachelor’s Degree in Agriculture and Stud Management, Celine worked in a racing yard in Pau which cemented her love of racing. A three-year stint at Bluegate Stud in Ireland followed before she emigrated to New Zealand to take up the position of Foaling Unit Manager at Haunui Farm where she worked alongside top vets and was responsible for the foaling and care of over 200 mares and foals a year.
Celine moved to the UK in 2014 and following a year of working on the European sale circuit, joined Goffs UK as a secretary. She also assists with yearling inspections in France and liaises with French clients at sales.
Apart from racing and horses, Celine's other passions include cooking for, and spending time with, her family and friends.
