I was born in Aunay-sur-Odon in Normandy, France in 1992 and I have been living in Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada since 2018.



Biography
I am interested in languages, literature, and arts. In 2014, I graduated from a "licence" (French equivalent of the Bachelors degree) in Language Sciences and French Sign Language from Université de Poitiers, and in 2018, I obtained a Masters of Creative Writing from Université du Havre and École supérieure d'arts et de design du Havre et de Rouen (ESADHaR). I am passionate about poetry and youth literature. After obtaining my Masters, I moved to Canada, where I work in artistic and literary organizations. For two years, I worked at local youth literature publisher Bouton d'or Acadie, as Projects Manager. I currently work as the Communications, Marketing, and Audience Development Manager at the Frye Festival.

I also dabble in literary translation. In June 2023, I published my first piece of literary translation in revue Ancrages ' issue #35, titled "Encrages et recollages". I translated "Public Swimming Pools" (Piscines publiques in French), a piece by Megan Gail Coles published in Satched (House of Anansi, 2021).
