About

My intercultural communication, networking, and collaboration skills have allowed me to develop strong listening abilities, analytical thinking, and assertiveness that foster trust with employers, colleagues, and my extended network.

My strengths include in-depth knowledge of the Quebec and Canadian NGO and foundation sector, as well as political processes and government dynamics. I am versatile and capable of linking strategy and operations to achieve organizational objectives.

Throughout my career, I have leveraged my fluency in French, English, Spanish, and Portuguese. I am accustomed to working in intercultural and multilingual environments. Furthermore, I am comfortable stepping out of my comfort zone by mobilizing my intellectual curiosity to explore new topics and approaches.
