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. \ud83e\udd88<\/p>

Eventually, after doing some research, I realized that becoming an oceanographer probably wouldn\u2019t 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!<\/p>

I graduated from the University of Montr\u00e9al\u2019s 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)<\/a> in 2020.<\/p>

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!<\/p>

I\u2019m the proud mom of Mathilda, an adorable, spirited, and funny little girl who is my greatest source of inspiration. Dr. J\u00e9r\u00f4me Benamou and I are partners in life, as well as parents and business partners. Luckily, we don\u2019t get on each other\u2019s nerves too much! Our family also includes three cats, a little Chihuahua mix named Barbie, and a beautiful merle Dachshund named Fl\u00fbte.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
