Born and raised in Québec, Valérie has been dedicated to the development of youth since 2009. Her own journey toward trilingualism was forged through immersive travels, sparking a lasting passion for cultural exchanges.

In 2012, she settled in British Columbia and began a dedicated career within the CSF. In 2018, she accompanied a group of CSF youth to Guatemala for a two-week expedition.

In 2019, driven by the mission to respond to the request of a mother from her rural community: to have more French-speaking opportunities outside of school, Valérie founded French To Go to offer authentic occasions to live French outside the classroom.

Today, Valérie combines her extensive field experience and pedagogical certifications to design coaching paths anchored in neuroscience. This coaching, which truly resonates with students, is aligned with Canadian research on second-language acquisition and the development of the child's full potential.
