DVM · Veterinarian

Graduation year: 2019

Like many Québec veterinarians, I graduated from the University of Montréal’s Faculty of Veterinary Medicine (Class of 2019). Fun fact: I’m actually Franco-Ontarian. Let’s just say the Franco-Ontarian flag song is never too far from my mind!

I practiced for five years in the Outaouais region before moving to Montréal, where I’m slowly learning to master the art of BIXI and avoid parking tickets.

My first best friend was a Labrador. Thanks to him, I knew from an early age that I wanted to become a veterinarian. For as long as I can remember, animals have played an important role in my life. Combining this passion with my interest in science, veterinary medicine quickly became the obvious choice for me.

I particularly enjoy general practice because of the wide variety of cases it offers and the special relationships I develop with families and their four-legged companions. I also have a strong interest in veterinary dentistry, a field that allows me to make a tangible difference in my patients’ comfort and quality of life.

When I’m not at the clinic, you’ll probably find me running with my Golden Retriever, Jerry, or immersed in a good book. I love to travel. Whether it’s discovering new places, taking photos, or trying local specialties, I’m always up for a new adventure. So far, I’ve been lucky enough to visit five of the seven continents, and I hope to complete the list someday.

Back home, I enjoy the little everyday moments with my family, friends, and my loyal feline roommate, Monsieur Gustave, who supervises everything I do.

My parasite prevention speech that I could probably recite in my sleep: “Yes, yes, ticks are now around almost year-round. And no, your dog doesn’t need to go into the woods to pick one up!”
Animals suffer in silence and are much more resilient than we are! Keep an eye out for changes in their routines and behaviour. Annual wellness exams allow us to detect health conditions early and take a proactive approach to prevention!

When a nervous dog at the clinic finally accepts my treats and comes to me on their own! My heart melts when I manage to earn an animal’s trust.

I’ll survive with a blade that won’t cut!
