Passions: Work, training and nutrition, travel, building projects ...

 

From a very young age, I knew I wanted to move and make things happen. I am a person of action, a passionate individual who fully commits to all his projects. Throughout my life, I have practiced sports. I played elite high-level baseball, amateur boxing, and physical training. After a break of several years, I got back into training. Since I do nothing halfway, it became my lifestyle. Supervised training with a "fitness" style coach 5 times a week, along with the appropriate nutrition! I am very interested in what is necessary to keep my body healthy and thus avoid as much as possible what is harmful.

Professionally, after ten years in management and direction of large retail stores, I redirected my career in 1999 to become a financial security advisor and mutual fund representative. From 2006 to 2021, I was manager of three of the most important financial service centers in Greater Montreal and the South Shore of Montreal for a company that is a leader in insurance and financial services in Quebec and Canada. After a few years as senior consultant for Quebec and senior Canadian business consultant for financial advisors for a world leader in insurance and financial services, I resumed my managerial role as district director of the Montreal South Shore financial centers for the same company. Since then, I have added the Saint-Jean sur Richelieu financial centers for the Haut-Richelieu region as well as the Sherbrooke center for the Estrie region.

Since 2021, I have also been leveraging my experience as a volunteer mentor for the Quebec Mentoring Network to mentor managers and business owners who request it.

To give back to society, I am involved in various foundations and social causes by sitting on boards of directors or as an ambassador and donor.

Those around me consider me a builder. One of my strengths is taking a project and leading it where it should be.

I greatly enjoy being involved in this family business project. I actually invest most of my free time working with my wonderful partner and our precious collaborators and partners to offer the best to our customers.

Passions: Cooking, work, travel, life ...

 

I see myself as a little girl in the family garden savoring what was fresh and tasty, or cooking alongside my mother, who was quite a cook! She was my source of inspiration. She was a nurse who loved helping her patients. She also always dreamed of starting her own business, her chocolate/catering shop. Unfortunately, illness decided otherwise for her.

For my part, I also always knew I wanted to help. I first completed my bachelor's degree in psychology at the University of Montreal, and I worked 10 years as a director in telecommunications. After the birth of my children, I made a career change. In 2009, I went back to school to obtain my license as a financial security advisor, which I still hold today.

My health was deteriorating. What had initially been warning signs intensified. I was in so much pain that I no longer had a quality of life. After investigations, I was diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome. That’s when I had to adopt a low FODMAP diet and cut out gluten, dairy products, etc. I drastically changed my diet. Not so simple, it was quite a challenge! I did a lot of trial and error and, frankly, it was very costly.

I therefore decided to turn these challenges into a new career project. So, my partner and I set up our health store FitFitFit.Fit. Also, to perfect my knowledge, I recently started studies in naturopathy.

I really want to help people who suffer from allergies or food intolerances and who, unfortunately, do not have the budget or knowledge to make the necessary changes for their health.

I also want to be a reference point for those who want to eat well, by offering delicious, healthy, and nourishing products all in one place.
