Born in Marseille and a 2008 graduate of the University of Li\u00e8ge with a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree, I then crossed the Atlantic to continue my career in North America. I gained a diverse range of experience, first in specialty surgery in Vancouver, then in general practice while completing an internship (IPSAV) at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine in Saint-Hyacinthe, before continuing at Michigan State University in Dr. Lo\u00efc D\u00e9jardin\u2019s laboratory, where I conducted orthopedic research.<\/p>

After completing my surgical residency from 2012 to 2015 and becoming board-certified by the ACVS in 2017, I practiced as a board-certified veterinary surgeon in the Montr\u00e9al area.<\/p>

In 2023, I embarked on an entrepreneurial journey by launching Coupez, a mobile veterinary specialty surgery company, followed by the launch of Clinique v\u00e9t\u00e9rinaire de l\u2019\u00cele-des-S\u0153urs and Velvet Sant\u00e9 Animale.<\/p>

When I\u2019m not in the operating room, I\u2019m Mathilda\u2019s dad and the proud roommate of three cats and two dogs. I\u2019m also passionate about sports, especially football, the real football, the one played with your feet \ud83d\ude09, and tennis. I also love cooking and scuba diving.<\/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
