Early life and education

Hym was born in Paris and grew up close to Boulevard Richard-Lenoir. She asked for a skateboard at the age of twelve because she saw so many people skateboarding in her local area.[2]

Hym obtained a bachelor's degree in Sport sciences at the Paris Descartes University in 2013, and completed a master's degree in Neuroscience from the same university in 2015.[2] She remained in neuroscience as a doctoral researcher, focusing on cognitive neuroscience at psychology in the laboratory of Marianne Barbu-Roth.[3][4] She looked at the impact of maternal voices on newborn babies.[5] In 2019, she received a PhD degree in Cognitive neuroscience and Psychology from the Paris Descartes University.[2]

Skateboarding career

Hym has competed at the World Skateboarding Championships. In 2016 she was approached by Commission Skateboard France to join the France skateboarding teams. She trained in Cosanostra Skatepark.[6] In July 2021 she represented France in the Women's Street Skateboarding event at the 2020 Summer Olympics, finishing in 17th place.[7]
