What has your career path been like?

My career path has been unconventional, to say the least. Curious and searching for a career, I first earned a bachelor’s degree in political science. Then, my passion for cycling and my desire to take on challenges led me to open my own bicycle sales and repair shop in the Hochelaga-Maisonneuve neighborhood. This venture, which I ran for 10 years, gave me in-depth expertise in cycling, but above all, it made me realize just how much I enjoyed helping people achieve their goals. Physical therapy then naturally presented itself to me as a way to combine helping others with my interest in sports and the human body.

What do you find most rewarding about your job?

I am fascinated by the human body and all its complexity. I enjoy reading, listening to podcasts, and attending training sessions to continually improve my skills. I love being able to make a difference in my patients’ quality of life and seeing them get better and better, week after week.

What sports do you play?

I have a soft spot for endurance sports. I'm an avid cyclist: road biking, gravel biking, touring, fixed-gear biking, and more. I also enjoy road and trail running, as well as cross-country skiing.

Have you ever been injured?

I struggled with a knee injury for nearly 18 months after a bicycle accident. That injury definitely taught me to listen to my body. It also introduced me to the fascinating relationship between the psychological and biological aspects of an injury.
