    With an honours bachelor’s degree in translation, I am a member of the Ordre des traducteurs, terminologues et interprètes agréés du Québec. My years of experience working in various industries as a Certified Translator led me to immerse myself in a wide variety of fields. My adaptability and curiosity make it easy for me to meet challenges. I am able to work under pressure, alone or as part of a team, on short terms and long projects.

    As part of my Master’s degree in translation, I developed a terminology lexicon that required advanced research as it was the first in the world to address a leading field, proteomics (https://spectrum.library.concordia.ca/976565/1/MR63139.pdf)

    During my four years of community and political involvement as Member of Parliament for Vimy (Laval) in the House of Commons of the Canadian Parliament, I have written, translated and edited hundreds of documents and speeches in both official languages while learning to navigate a complex and demanding environment.
