I was born in Drummondville, Quebec. Since I grew up in a French household and was educated in English from the age of eleven, I think of myself as being Frenglish!

I attended Cegep and University in Montreal where I obtained a Bachelor’s degree in translation. Two years later, I fulfilled my dream of living on a tropical island by moving to Grenada in the West Indies with my partner and our newborn son. I spent nearly four years living alongside my Grenadian in-laws, enjoying the beautiful scenery and numerous beaches. This was a turning point for me in many ways as it was also during that time that I wrote my first stories and thus discovered my passion for writing.

I have since returned to Drummondville where, while perfecting my writing skills, I worked at various jobs such as teaching English to adults, selling children's books, and translating.

I am now happily self-employed writing for both children and adults as well as translating all sorts of documents.

I am a member of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators and the Literary Translators’ Association of Canada.
