Biography

Master's student in Strategic Studies at the University of Calgary, with research interests in security and defence, NATO, transatlantic relations, the Arctic, and critical undersea infrastructure.

I enjoy bridging academia and public policy, translating research into practical policy solutions. My experience spans several federal departments, with a focus on defence, innovation, international affairs, and science policy.

Curious, driven, and always eager to take on new challenges. Bilingual in English and French.
