Bien qu’elle ait initialement axé sa formation sur la gestion des matières résiduelles, sa passion pour les sports nautiques l’a naturellement orientée vers la conservation des milieux aquatiques du Québec.
Avec son expérience en tant que coordonnatrice du plan directeur de l’eau (PDE) en Mauricie (BVSM, 2019-2021), elle assume désormais ce rôle au sein de l’OBV SCABRIC. Ses missions clés englobent la révision collaborative du plan directeur de l’eau, la conception d’une stratégie de mobilisation et la promotion de la sensibilisation citoyenne.
