She loves life at Exponentiel because…
I am surrounded by exceptional human beings and professionals. Working alongside them as a leader and colleague is a privilege. We know how to stick together, step in when necessary and help each other. Exponentiel offers me a professional environment imbued with humanity, kindness, understanding and respect.
What's most important to her
Being afflicted by a severe food allergy myself, I have a personal connection with the issues raised by Allergies Québec. Quebec is the only province without laws or regulations on handling of allergies in schools. One of my first mandates at Exponentiel was raising political awareness of this issue. I am proud and happy to have been able to create some momentum, with Défi Collations, for this cause that affects more than 75,000 young people in Quebec.
Her Exponentiel attitude: personalized creativity
I like finding new original ideas to allow our clients to stand out. Even with sensitive cases such as governmental relations, I believe that we can be creative, as long as that creativity supports objectives.
