Sophie Jovillard was born in Lille in 1973 to parents from Bordeaux and spent her childhood and adolescence in Légny. As a child, she already wanted to work in the field of media and communication. Like her big sister Sylvie before her, she joined the French School of Press Officers (promotion 96)6, but quickly realized that she wanted to be on the other side of the camera. She graduated with a bac + 4. In parallel with her studies, she worked as an intern at RTL radio for which she covered various subjects. This internship, scheduled for two months and obtained thanks to his radio option teacher, Serge Colonge, ends after one year. She made her television debut on Télé Lyon Métropole in 1995, still as a trainee. She became a production assistant, then a producer, for several shows, and signed her first employment contract during her third year of studies. A graduate, she was already at the helm of several programs and hosted CQFD, a daily cultural magazine that she hosted for two years.
