I grew up in the French-speaking part of Canada, dividing my time between the city and a rustic cabin on a lake that’s been in my family since I was a baby. That special place—and the surrounding forest—holds my most treasured childhood memories. It was there that I learned the value of staying engaged and present, spending my days gardening, hiking, observing wildlife, learning to identify plants and trees, practicing survival skills, woodworking, and creating art. My connection to the land is at the heart of who I am and continues to guide the way I live and work.

​

I studied social communications in college in Quebec and spent ten years living in British Columbia before settling in California. Now, with my own family, I love exploring the outdoors through camping trips, road adventures, and discovering national parks. I’m always happiest near the water, beneath a thick canopy of trees.

​

I’m deeply passionate about early childhood education and am inspired by the Waldorf approach, which beautifully integrates art, music, handwork, reverence for the natural world, and daily rhythm. These values resonate with my own upbringing and beliefs, and I strive to bring that sense of wonder, creativity, and connection into everything I do with children and families.
