I have always been passionate about animals of all kinds. Around the age of six, I told my parents that I wanted to become an oceanographer. At school, I would take advantage of the oral presentations we had to prepare to deepen my knowledge of whales and sharks. 🦈

Eventually, after doing some research, I realized that becoming an oceanographer probably wouldn’t help me fulfill my dream of starring in the next Free Willy. So, I turned to veterinary medicine instead. Not a bad Plan B, if you ask me!

I graduated from the University of Montréal’s Faculty of Veterinary Medicine in 2013, and it was during my academic training that I developed an interest (read: an obsession) with specialized surgery. I have been practicing exclusively veterinary surgery since 2015, and I became board-certified by the American College of Veterinary Surgeons (ACVS) in 2020.

I love teaching and sharing my knowledge with my colleagues, veterinary students, and conscientious pet owners. Velvet is now my favorite platform for connecting and sharing information!

I’m the proud mom of Mathilda, an adorable, spirited, and funny little girl who is my greatest source of inspiration. Dr. Jérôme Benamou and I are partners in life, as well as parents and business partners. Luckily, we don’t get on each other’s nerves too much! Our family also includes three cats, a little Chihuahua mix named Barbie, and a beautiful merle Dachshund named Flûte.
