Biography

I am a PhD student in Health Sciences at the Université du Québec en Abitibi-Témiscamingue (UQAT).
Previously, I completed a Master’s degree in Nursing Sciences at UQAT. My research project focused on physical activity and health-related quality of life among individuals living with cancer. I was particularly interested in people residing in remote regions of Quebec.
After working as a nurse in various healthcare settings, I am currently an invited professor at the Teaching and Research Unit in Health Sciences at UQAT, where I teach nursing in the areas of community health, public health, and primary care.
As part of my doctoral research, I aim to explore the relationship between chronic pain and exposure to nature or green spaces, while considering various sociodemographic variables, as well as the perceived effects of these environments on the experience of chronic pain.
