About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Finding myself.

ABOUT ME

I'm a young mom passionate about heritage conservation.

Born and raised in Montreal, I lived in Quebec city for three years to purse my undergraduate studies in history and heritage studies. Back in Montreal, I completed a master degree in built heritage conservation from Université de Montréal. In the meantime, I had a baby girl. Right after my maternity leave and my studying years, I started working in a small architecture studio specialized in heritage building conservation. My job is to do historical research and to write heritage assessments. It's an awesome job!

I'm friendly, open-minded, curious and I like to have looonnnggg conversations.
I have celiac disease so I must eat gluten free food.

I live with my boyfriend Maxime and our daughter Gabrielle. She's two years and half old. Both of them are friendly, easygoing and really funny.

PHILOSOPHY

Respect is probably the most important thing to me. Respect of your own person and respect of others.
