A businesswoman committed for more than 25 years, I currently hold the position of Vice President at Bijouterie Jacques Charron & Fils Inc., a family business to which I have devoted my energy, rigor, and passion since 1998. Over the years, I have learned to combine professional ambition with human values, always emphasizing quality, trust, and lasting relationships.
But beyond my entrepreneurial journey, it is above all my personal story that brings me here today. The cause of heart diseases touches me deeply. I lost my father following a heart attack, a significant ordeal that transformed my view of health and prevention. More recently, in September 2024, my mother had to receive a defibrillator pacemaker, a concrete reminder that these issues remain very present in my family reality.
I am also a fulfilled mother of two children and, since last December, a proud and moved grandmother of a little girl. This new role gives even more meaning to my commitment. It strengthens my desire to act today to build a healthier future for generations to come.
Getting involved in this cause is, for me, a way to turn hardships into actions filled with hope. I want to contribute to improving access to prevention programs, to raise greater awareness, and to support research, so that fewer families have to go through what mine has experienced.
Participating in the 2027 Red Dress Gala is an honor, but above all, an opportunity to make a real difference.
