Professional career

After her graduation at SciencesPo, Janvier worked for one year and a half in Kenya for the French Ministry of Economics and Finance, to establish relationships between French insurance companies and Eastern African banks. After that, she settled in the Loiret department to work in social affairs.[3]

For six years, Janvier worked at the Aidaphi association (Association Interdépartementale pour le Développement des Actions en faveur des Personnes Handicapées et Inadaptées) as technical adviser, where she negotiated financial resources with the relevant public authorities (ARS, departmental council, etc.), manages the association's law monitoring and follows the various establishments and services of the association. She also worked as independent consultant for various consulting firms in the medical and social sector.[4]

Member of Parliament

Janvier joined En Marche ! from its beginning in April 2016 and became its candidate for the 2017 French legislative elections to replace the party's departmental point of contact Emmanuel Constantin when he was found ineligible due to his professional activity.

On 18 June 2017, Janvier was elected Member of the National Assembly for the Loiret's second constituency, winning by 51,23% on the election's second round, facing the former Les Républicains MP Serge Grouard.[5][6]
