I have extensive experience organizing and managing large-scale projects and events in research and science communication. Have a look below at some of the projects I have been involved in.
J’ai plusieurs années d’expérience en organisation et gestion de projets à large échelle et d’événements en recherche et en communication scientifique. Voyez ci-dessous certains des projets dans lesquels je me suis impliquée.
Quel Virus Es-Tu?
Quel Virus Es-Tu? is a science communication project supported by the Fonds de Recherche du Québec. In 2021, my team was selected to conceive and implement a communication campaign on COVID-19 vaccines targeted at youth 18-30 years old.
ComSciCon
I am a co-founder and leader of the organizing committee for ComSciCon-QC, the first francophone science communication conference for grad students. Following the success of our first event in 2020, it has become a staple in Quebec’s science communication landscape, taking place in June every year.
BrainReach
I served as President of BrainReach High Schools (Mission Cerveau) from 2018 to 2020, before focusing on strategic leadership for expansion and collaboration across universities, deeply changing the organization through my tenure. BrainReach delivers free neuroscience workshops to schools. See the video below to learn more about BrainReach.
PNLab
From 2015 to 2024, I was the research coordinator at the Perceptual Neuroscience Laboratory for Autism and Development McGill University. My very varied tasks included managing research funds, translating materials, writing up research results, organizing social events, etc.
