I'm a grassroots community organizer from Montreal, Quebec, helping out local communities change the way their neighborhoods are being developed by including their local needs and aspirations. Connecting local residents to structures of power for a more transparent and inclusive development is the reason I work at a grassroots level. Empowering communities to address their social, economic and environmental difficulties so as to contribute to a better living environment.

In my social life, I love going out and enjoying small caring moments with the lovely people that surround me. Whether it is the bar, dancing, bowling, hiking a mountain, enjoying an outdoor music concert or enjoying good food at nice restaurants, I'm all about the social experience that can be created when people come together and enjoy the moments that follow.

Music, Movies, and Books

I've always been a great fan of classic and alternative rock (CCR, Styx, Death Cab for Cutie, ...) but I am currently listening a lot to French-Canadian musicians that I wasn't paying enough attention in the past (Bernard Adamus, les Soeurs Boulay, Safia Nolin, ...).

I love movies from Wes Anderson, the Cohen Brothers, Sophia Coppola, Alfonso Cuarón, ... anything with a little depth that tries to address social issues and ordinary life situations.

I mostly read fantasy and small-scale science fiction novels, though I have currently embraced French-Canadian literature a lot (Nikolski, La femme qui fuit, Volkswagen Blues, ...).
