What I'm looking for

I am a dedicated agro-economist with a B.Sc. A. in Agro-Economics from Université Laval, Quebec. My recent role as an Industrial Development Advisor at the Ministry of Economy, Innovation, and Energy has equipped me with the skills to analyze large electricity consumer projects in the agricultural sector, focusing on economic impacts and sustainability. I have successfully collaborated with various stakeholders, including Hydro-Québec and the Ministry of Finance, to develop analysis tools that enhance project selection processes.

Prior to this, I gained valuable experience as a Professional Agro-Economics Intern, where I conducted a comprehensive study on the marketing of meat goats in Quebec and developed profitability calculation tools for agricultural startups. My diverse background also includes teaching snowboarding and providing tutoring in various subjects, showcasing my ability to communicate complex concepts effectively. I am passionate about sustainable agricultural practices and committed to making a positive impact in the field.
