She is a member of the Association des Optométriste du Québec (AOQ) and the Canadian Association of Optometrists (CAO). Her passion and enthusiasm for the profession allows her to provide primary eye care to patients of all ages through ocular health exams, ocular emergencies, contact lens fitting, paediatric and geriatric eye exams.
