After a first postdoctoral fellowship in Chicago (Northwestern University), she joined McGill University for a second postdoctoral fellowship, then joined Prof. Stone's team as an associate researcher. There, she established new animal models and investigative methods to better understand low back pain linked to intervertebral disc degeneration. She also investigated the epigenetic changes associated with chronic pain and laid the foundations for her program on geriatric well-being. In 2021, she became a private consultant and then Scientific Director of the ABC (Animal Behavioural Characterisation) platform at McGill. In December 2024, she joined the Department of Veterinary Biomedicine at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine (Université de Montréal) as Assistant Professor.
