A recent graduate of Université Laval's Bachelor of Engineering Physics program, I began a Master's degree in biophotonics in the summer of 2024. I'm designing a STED super-resolution microscope at the CERVO research center. It was a visit to CERVO in winter 2019 (1st year of CEGEP) that prompted me to enroll in the Engineering Physics program, then do a few research internships before continuing my studies at the graduate level. So I know the impact that certain visits or experiences can have on a career. That's why I wanted to get involved with InitiaSciences, to encourage others to get a taste of research. I'd also like to bring the activity to Quebec City, given its large number of research centers. In addition to InitiaSciences, for the past 3 years I've been active on two other committees, Jeux Photoniques and La Coupe de Science, promoting science and engineering to high school students.
