About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Inject some meaning in life, meet interesting people, dance, laugh

ABOUT ME

I am a Montrealer living in Paris.
I left my hometown to go and live in Vancouver, Canada in 2008. I did a Master in Economics there.
After one year, I wanted to continue traveling and studying something different. So I applied at Sciences Po Paris to study sustainability - the issue that really got me into Economics in the first place.
I moved to France, starting with an internship in Lyon. I met wonderful people there who made me feel at home in France. So I stayed and went to school in Paris. And here I am, 3 years later, with a job I am passionate about, 2 amazing roommates, living in an amazing city I greatly enjoy.

PHILOSOPHY

Sustainability - becoming more empathetic towards nature, and find meaning and happiness in the process

I know many great addresses and place to wander in Paris, I can teach French and English, and I can talk for hours about Quebec politics and sustainability (although I don't have to).
