She loves life at Exponentiel because…
I’m surrounded by exceptional human beings and professionals! Growing alongside them—as both a manager and a colleague—is a privilege. We’ve built a culture where people have each other’s backs, step in to help, and raise their hands to support one another. Exponentiel offers me a professional environment grounded in humanity, kindness, understanding, and respect.
What's most important to her
As someone who lives with a severe food allergy, I feel a deep personal connection to the work of Allergies Québec. Quebec is the only province without legislation or regulations governing allergy management in schools. One of my first mandates at Exponentiel was to raise political awareness about this issue. I’m proud to have helped launch Défi collations, which created strong momentum around this cause affecting more than 75,000 children across the province.
Her Exponentiel attitude:Personalized creativity
I love finding original ideas that help our clients stand out. Even for sensitive issues like government relations, I believe creativity always has a place—when it supports strategy, that’s when the magic happens.
