Mont-Sainte-Anne, Quebec

Born in Chelsea, Quebec, I grew up playing in the Gatineau Park where outdoor activities are very popular. Practising cross-country skiing in winter and mountain biking in summer, I was always drawn to endurance sports. My competitive nature led me to the starting line of many competitions and I now train as a full-time cross-country skiing athlete at the Centre National d’Entraînement Pierre-Harvey located in Mont-Sainte-Anne. Although skiing is my first sport, I never miss an occasion to hop on my mountain bike and have fun in the trails of the Mont-Sainte-Anne.
Throughout my career, I have been fortunate enough to be supported and encouraged by my community. To give back, I invest a lot of time in causes that are dear to me, such as the creation of a community of active women. I think that a big part of the motivation to start a sport comes from the people with whom you can practise that sport. That being said, it is all the more important to have healthy, inclusive, accessible and cohesive environments for women to feel welcomed and confident to practise their sport.
PEPPERMINT shares that vision and that is why I am really proud to be a PEPPERMINT ambassador this year.
Happy riding to all the incredible women of the PEPPERMINT community!!
