Profile and expertise

Why I love what I do

I have always loved to tell stories. Even at a young age, I was already known for my writing skills… and my ability to talk! Over time, I realized that one of my great strengths was that I could easily relate to people and that, by using those relationships wisely, I could have a positive influence around me. My job allows me to meet amazing people and use my storytelling skills to have a tangible impact on the companies I advise. Few things are as satisfying as feeling that our work is making a real difference!

Why CASACOM

CASACOM was founded when I was a second year undergraduate student. I feel that I have not only had a front row seat to see this humanistic firm evolve, but that we also grew at the same pace. After 20 years in the communications and business world, I chose to join an organization that allows me to put my skills to work and to satisfy my curiosity about a wide range of subjects and issues, while remaining consistent with my core values of trust, kindness and excellence. CASACOM is right where I belong!

What else…

I am a committed woman, in all areas of my life. I give 200% to my work, but also to my family and friends. I’m the one who makes surprise trips to bring little gifts to some friends, just “because”. I am also the mother of two smart and talented girls, one of whom has a special talent for dancing. So you can regularly hear me cheering for her, along with her teammates, all over the province. During the summer months, I get on my bike to push my physical limits and raise funds for the Charles-Bruneau Foundation, a cause that is particularly close to my heart. Finally, I have the heart of a rocker. As a young adult, I traveled a lot to see my favorite band in concert. That’s how I learned English and how I met my husband!
