My background, the teams I’ve worked with and what drives me every day.
My academic background
Mechanical engineering, programming and teaching: a background that connects technology with people’s needs.
With a degree in Mechanical Engineering from Université de Sherbrooke and an undergraduate concentration in Technological Entrepreneurship, I am currently pursuing a PhD in Mechanical Engineering focused on medical ultrasound imaging. My background brings together programming, design and experimentation to create solutions that make a difference for people.
I have also taught mechatronics to third-year undergraduate mechanical engineering students. This experience adds an educational and human dimension to my work: explaining technical concepts and helping others put them into practice.
My professional experience
From prototype design to team management, I enjoy moving projects forward through collaboration.
At SBQuantum and Boréas Technologies, I contributed to the design and integration of technological systems, from building prototypes to developing control and analysis software. These experiences brought me to the intersection of mechanics, electronics and programming.
My background also includes managing a team of 20 people at Groupe TAQ, a company providing adapted employment, and an entrepreneurial project on microplastics through AquaHacking. I approach projects with as much attention to people and their needs as to technical solutions.
Beyond work
Athletics has brought me lasting friendships, a role as team captain and the opportunity to compete at the Canadian championships.
Sport is an important part of my life. Athletics has helped me build lasting friendships through shared effort, challenges and moments of pride. It also gave me the opportunity to captain the Vert & Or and compete at the 2024 Canadian Championships and Olympic Trials.
