I’m a runner from the Lanaudière region, and I discovered trail running about five years ago while living in Banff, Alberta. It was love at first sight, and ever since, my life has revolved around the trails. I’ve been running every single day since January 1st, 2024. My desire to compete really kicked in after finishing second at the UTHC 65 in 2024.

31 years old

I’m a young mom from Gaspésie, deeply in love with the Chic-Chocs and always up for a challenge. I made my return to competitive sport in 2024, one year after giving birth to my son. In 2025, during my second season back, I took part in seven races and achieved my goal of finishing in the top 10 in all of them.

A PhD candidate in political philosophy, running helps me organize my thoughts, escape, and maintain both mental and physical balance. I’m really excited to take on the Ultra-Trail Harricana of Canada this coming September.
