Biography
Born in Toronto, Canada, in 1968, I consider myself nonetheless a native of Northern Ontario where my family relocated 3 years after my birth. I grew up within a bilingual (French and English) environment in New Liskeard, Ontario, Canada, until I moved back to Toronto in 1987 to attend York University. At York, I completed both a Bachelor's (1991) and Master's (1993) degree in the field of Atmospheric Science. I then participated in a student work exchange programme by IAESTE that gave me pertinent experience in my field of studies at the Technical University of Budapest in Hungary (1994). Subsequently, I returned to York University as a project scientist studying blowing snow. I then applied in 1996 and was accepted at McGill University for the Ph.D. programme in the Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences.
During my years as a university student, I have been extensively involved with student associations and community groups. At York University, I was at a volunteer for the Learning Disabilities Programme (1987-89), vice-president and treasurer of C House Council of Founders Residence, president, treasurer and active member of the York Atmospheric Club (1988-1993), and a student representative for the Faculty of Graduate Studies (1992-93). Since joining the ranks of McGill University, I have maintained an active role in student organizations as the list below demonstrates.
