I’ve always been fascinated by people and their stories, which is what first led me to complete a bachelor’s degree in Anthropology. Over time, my path allowed me to bring together this interest in communities with my passion for food and food systems. Aware of the central role that agriculture and agri-food play in shaping regions and communities, I went on to complete a master’s in Regional Studies and Interventions.
As part of the CISA team, I’ve had the chance in recent years to meet many inspiring people and explore new regions of Québec, particularly in Haute-Mauricie and Northern Québec. These field experiences have given me a deeper understanding of the realities faced by both Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities living in remote areas.
